Synopsis
Bill Lascher, author of Eve of a Hundred Midnights, spoke at the MacArthur Memorial in March 2017. Eve of a Hundred Midnights recounts the meteoric rise of Melville Jacoby, a dashing foreign correspondent who fell in love not only with a country - China - but with Annalee Whitmore, a whip-smart Hollywood scriptwriter-turned journalist. Together they covered the opening days of World War II, reported on the besieged Chinese wartime capital of Chongqing, the fall of Manila and the struggle for Bataan.
