| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "On New Year's Eve, 1941, just three weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were bombing the Philippine capital of Manila, where journalists Melville and Annalee Jacoby had married just a month earlier... Now in the Philippines, the newlyweds were reporting from the frontlines of the war in the Pacific... Mel and Analee covered the harrowing war in the Pacific Theater--two of only a handful of valiant and dedicated journalists reporting from the region.
Acclaimed journalist Bill Lascher calls upon the Jacoby's personal letters, deep historical research, and extensive interviews to bring to life the couple's thrilling odyssey, and he captures their love affair with Asia and with each other. Eve of a Hundred Midnights is a tale of unquenchable thirst for adventure, daring reportage at great personal risk, and an enduring romance that blossomed in the shadow of war."
