520    A giant in American journalism in the vanguard of "The 
       Greatest Generation" reveals his World War II experiences 
       in this National Geographic book. Walter Cronkite, an 
       obscure twenty-three-year-old United Press wire service 
       reporter, married Betsy Maxwell on March 30, 1940, 
       following a four-year courtship. She proved to be the love
       of his life, and their marriage lasted happily until her 
       death in 2005. But before Walter and Betsy Cronkite 
       celebrated their second anniversary, he became a 
       credentialed war correspondent, preparing to leave her 
       behind to go overseas. The couple spent months apart in 
       the summer and fall of 1942, as Cronkite sailed on convoys
       to England and North Africa across the submarine-infested 
       waters of the North Atlantic. After a brief December leave
       in New York City spent with his young wife, Cronkite left 
       again on assignment for England. This time, the two would 
       not be reunited until the end of the war in Europe. 
       Cronkite would console himself during their absence by 
       writing her long, detailed letters-sometimes five in a 
       week-describing his experiences as a war correspondent, 
       his observations of life in wartime Europe, and his 
       longing for her. Betsy Cronkite carefully saved the 
       letters, copying many to circulate among family and 
       friends. More than a hundred of Cronkite's letters from 
       1943-45 (plus a few earlier letters) survive. They reveal 
       surprising and little known facts about this storied 
       public figure in the vanguard of "The Greatest 
       Generation." They chronicle both a great love story and a 
       great war story, as told by the reporter who would go on 
       to become anchorman for the CBS Evening News with a 
       reputation as "the most trusted man in America."
