INSIDE EUROPE did for John Gunther's career as a journalist what John Gunther did for modern journalism - redefined success and created an explosion of truth. The Chicago-born writer-broadcaster enjoyed fame and fortune in the 1930's and 1940's and changed international reporting by going "inside." He was a friend to famed leaders, activists and artists such as Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Garbo, Dali and Churchill, but also held a place on Hitler's death list. Gunther was admired for his success, money and adventurous, romantic lifestyle. But on the inside was a man torn by tragedy after his two sons died. His books were phenomenal successes and have been translated into 90 languages. Here is the true story told for the first time about a legendary man who was larger-than-life.
