520    Vividly capturing the heady times in the waning months of 
       World War II, Ronald Weber follows the exploits of Allied 
       reporters as they flooded into liberated Paris after four 
       dark years of Nazi occupation. He traces the remarkable 
       adventures of the men and women who lived, worked, and 
       played in the legendary Htel Scribe, set in a highly 
       fashionable part of the largely undamaged city. Press 
       jeeps and trailers packed the street outside, while inside
       the hotel was completely booked with hundreds of 
       correspondents. The busiest spot was the dining area, 
       where the clatter of typewriters combined with shouts of 
       correspondents needing hot water to brew coffee from 
       military powder. But the basement-level bar was the 
       hotel's top attraction, where famed war correspondents 
       like Ernie Pyle, Walter Cronkite, A. J. Liebling, Ernest 
       Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Janet Flanner, Lee Miller, 
       Marguerite Higgins, Irwin Shaw, Edward Kennedy, Charles 
       Collingwood, Robert Capa, and many others held court while
       in the company of military censors and top brass. Weber 
       uncovers the struggles between correspondents and Allied 
       officials over censorship and the release of information, 
       the heated press chaos surrounding the war's end, and the 
       drama of the second German surrender orchestrated by the 
       Russians in shattered Berlin. The elation of total victory
       was mixed with the abrupt emptiness of a task finished. 
       While work on the Continent remained for journalists, it 
       now dealt with the slog of the occupation of Germany 
       rather than the blood and glory of war. Yet Weber shows 
       there were many reasons to carry on after VE Day in this 
       delightfully entertaining account of the hotel where 
       correspondents were regularly briefed on the war and its 
       aftermath, wrote their stories, had them transmitted to 
       international media outlets, and rarely neglected the 
       pleasures of a Paris reborn until December 1, 1945, when 
       the Htel Scribe was officially vacated by the American 
       military.
