(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! Fine condition.
