When he became a credentialed war correspondent, Cronkite would console himself during their separation by writing her long, detailed letters-- sometimes five in a week-- describing his experiences, his observations of life in wartime Europe, and his longing for her. More than a hundred of Cronkite's letters from 1943-45 survive, chronicling both a great love story and a great war story. 000471274 60010 $$aCronkite, Walter$$vCorrespondence. 000471274 60010 $$aCronkite, Walter$$xFamily. 000471274 60010 $$aCronkite, Betsy,$$d-2005$$vCorrespondence. 000471274 61020 $$aUnited Press International$$vBiography. 000471274 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xJournalists$$vCorrespondence. 000471274 650_0 $$aWar correspondents$$zUnited States$$vCorrespondence. 000471274 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xAerial operations, American. 000471274 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xCampaigns$$zEurope. 000471274 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$zEngland$$zLondon$$vAnecdotes. 000471274 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$vPersonal narratives. 000471274 650_0 $$aLove-letters$$zUnited States. 000471274 7001_ $$aIsserman, Maurice. 000471274 7001_ $$aCronkite, Walter,$$cIV. 000471274 85200 $$bgen$$hD799.U6$$iC76$$i2013 000471274 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:471274$$pGLOBAL_SET 000471274 980__ $$aBIB 000471274 980__ $$aBOOK
