Last Call at the Hotel Imperial: The Reporters Who Took on a World at War
Telling the extraordinary story of the Cub Reporters, an astonishing group that were glamourous, gutsy, and irreverent to the bone, who roamed across a war-ravaged world to land exclusive interviews and scoops that helped shaped the way America saw the world at large . . .
Told with the immediacy of a conversation overheard, Last Call at the Hotel Imperial is a revelatory work of narrative non-fiction that captures intimately how the global upheavals of the twentieth-century felt up close.
“Deborah Cohen has done a remarkably powerful, enlightening and entertaining job of bringing back to life a quartet of long gone reporters. Writing with easy authority and a powerful narrative drive, Last Call at the Imperial Hotel is a great book about great and flawed people caught up in a world going mad.” -- Chicago Tribune
