About This Item

International News Service. Very Good. 1951. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Paperback. This is a trade sized paperback book with heavy cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The book is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The spine and rear spine joint of the book cover have noticeable toning. The text pages are clean and bright. This book appears to have come about during the hoopla about Julius and Ethel Rosenberg being spies for Russia. Bob Considine was one of the witnesses to the executions of the Rosenberg, and it appears he had done some reporting on the entire scandal and this particular booklet was the results of some of his reporting. "Robert Bernard Considine, known as Bob Considine (November 4, 1906 – September 25, 1975) , was an American journalist, author, and commentator. He is best known as the co-author of Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and The Babe Ruth Story. "With Ted W. Lawson, Considine authored Thirty Seconds over Tokyo, an account of Lt. Col. James Doolittle's 1942 air raid on Japan that was released the following year. It became a best-selling book. Considine was prolific, with a level of production few could match. "Considine's speed, accuracy, and concentration as a writer and his seemingly inexhaustible energy were legendary in the newspaper profession. He was known to work at two typewriters at one time, writing a news story on one and a column or book on the other. His colleagues at the Washington Post recalled that he wrote a column on the 1942 World Series in nine minutes--on a train with his typewriter on a baggage car and the conductor shouting, 'All aboard.' ," according to the Dictionary of American Biography." .
