"Hi, I'm Ernie Pyle"

This dramatization of the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist's World War II dispatches is ideal for high school or college students studying a WWII curriculum, historical groups, and veterans' associations. Pyle's articles were America's window to the war. Based on columns published from 1940-1945 in more than 380 newspapers, the presentation is sometimes hard hitting, humorous, and poignant look at how American servicemen fought, lived, died, and survived the war to bring freedom to the world.
