Reviews

""Dispatches and Dictators is unquestionably a useful book and contribution, a reminder of a voice and an experience in vital places in a vital time."" --Oregon Historical Quarterly ""A masterful biography of a journalist who dedicated himself to the truth as he saw it, who openly defied the true monsters of our last century (Hitler and Stalin), who was so dedicated to what he saw as his responsibility that he died for it. The Salem man was one of the great ones, now almost forgotten. This breakneck-paced book might just restore his reputation."" --Statesman Journal ""Barnes's journalism was based on strong legwork and honesty and merits Mahoney's reclamation efforts. Like Barnes's reporting, this biography features solid research, fair-mindedness, and straightforward prose. It is neither an absorbing nor demanding narrative, but a conscientious record of one worthy journalist's life and times."" --Choice
