Sample Book Insights: #1 I had just flown into Algiers from Morocco, and was searching for the Public Relations Office when I met Pete Huss, the International News Service manager at Allied Headquarters. He knew that I was hot on the trail of the invasion. #2 The invasion of Sicily was announced at 4 A. M. The small amount of information that was permissible was passed to the press, and a deadline of six o’clock was set for the release of the story. #3 Eisenhower arrived from Sicily. The campaign had been so far successful, and more than 500 tanks had landed without any problems. The resistance was negligible, and our casualties were far lighter than expected. #4 I went to the summer palace of the Bey of Tunis, now an American Army billet, to see Col. Elliott Roosevelt and try to arrange at least a look at Sicily. The photographic reconnaissance group under his command had made twenty-four flights over Sicily yesterday alone.
