1941, Erskine Caldwell (1903-1987) traveled to Russia through China with his then-wife,
photographer Margaret Bourke-White, and the couple was present on July 22, 1941, when
the first German bombs exploded over Moscow. In 1942, Caldwell, who had sent dispatches
to CBS Radio as a war correspondent, published "Moscow Under Fire", an essay, and All
Night Long, A Novel of Guerilla Warfare in Russia based on his experiences there. The writer
of 25 novels, 150 short stories and 12 non-fiction books, Erskine Caldwell (1903-1987) is
best known for his depictions of poverty stricken blacks and whites in the South. His
1932 novel Tobacco Road (1932) became a long-running Broadway play and God's Little
Acre (1933) sold over 14 million copies; both were made into feature films. In all, the prolific
author sold some 80 million copies of his works in 43 languages! Lightly creased and soiled.
