"Lee worked through China and Japan for over two years, traveling thousands of miles with the Jap armies. Jap Army officers did not care for his hard-hitting news stories, but they liked him well enough to warn him to get out of Shanghai three weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Lee ended up on Bataan with General MacArthur, and his eyewitness stories were good reporting. He left before Corregidor’s fall “to save my neck. ” He had heard that Don Bell, an American radio commentator, had been tortured and killed by the Japs in Manila, and assumed he would meet the same fate. He also thought that he and TIME’S Melville Jacoby, who was later killed in Australia, might be able to persuade Washington that the Philippines could be saved with some prompt assistance. " (from Time Magazine, May 17, 1943 ). Very Good+ in Very Good- dust jacket .
