Spanning the years 1920 to 1956, cross three continents this priceless collection shows Hemingway’s work as a reporter, from correspondent for the Toronto Star to contributor to Esquire, Colliers, and Look. As fledgling reporter, war correspondent, and seasoned journalist, Hemingway provides access to a range of experiences, including vivid eyewitness accounts of the Spanish Civil War and World War II. By-Line: Ernest Hemingway offers a glimpse into the world behind the popular fiction of one of America’s greatest writers.

More intimately than in all his fiction, Hemingway the reporter reveals Hemingway the man, driving an ambulance through a bullet barrage or leading guerrilla forces into Paris, always in the thick of the action. Here are his most sensational dispatches: the grisly truth about Mussolini, the horrors of total war, the rootless expatriates of the Lost Generation, the blood and beauty of bullfighting and big-game hunting…the behind-the-scenes stories that became For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms, and The Sun Also Rises.

The book is divided into sections for each publication and era Hemingway covered. I had hoped to find a pdf copy to include. I am not fond of the Audible monopoly but its reviewers often do an exceptional job as they did on sectioning this book. Take a look at them if interested.
