No Other Road to Freedom
London: Faber & Faber, 1942. 1st Edition. 8vo. Very Good / Very Good. Item #16107
1st UK Edition by the influential Pulitzer Prize winning American journalist.
Stowe was "one of the first to recognize the expansionist character of the German Nazi regime.
"When World War II started in Europe in 1939, he worked as a war correspondent for the Chicago Daily News and the New York Post. He happened to be in Oslo on April 9, 1940, and therefore witnessed the German invasion, as well as the general confusion within the Norwegian forces, administration, and Allied Expeditionary Forces. Stowe "revealed the collaboration of Norwegian Vidkun Quisling in helping the Nazis seize Oslo without a shot." In 1942 Stowe as a war correspondent visited Moscow and traveled to the front lines of the still retreating troops of USSR. His travel companion and guide was Ilya Ehrenburg, a Russian-Jewish-Soviet war journalist. Stowe's book They Shall Not Sleep gives a rare insider view of an American journalist on the Soviet Army, and the events of the war from the Soviet side of the front.
Stowe's critical reportage was claimed to be one of the influences that helped bring down Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in the United Kingdom. His writings also gave the Norwegian government-in-exile considerable bad media coverage. It was quite often an image-problem, that C. J. Hambro worked actively towards correcting, working in exile." - Wiki
