During WWII the only way Americans had any idea of what was going on "over there" was through the vivid reporting of a handful of brave war correspondents. Among this hardy breed of journalists, Ernie Pyle earned a solid reputation for his hard-hitting and poignant stories direct from the front line. In this special documentary, some of Ernie's most memorable stories are given a dramatic rendering. These exceptional reenactments run alongside reminiscences from Walter Cronkite, James Whitmore, Andy Rooneyand former President Gerald Ford. This is a rare look at the realities of war from the perspective of the very witnesses who lived through them.
