First edition, first printing.  xvi, 364, xiv pp, plus eight pages of illustrations.  Quarter bound in blue cloth over brown cloth-covered boards, blind blind initials on upper panel, gilt and coloured lettering on the spine.  Cloth covers very slightly brushed, some browning to text block edges.  Internally neat, clean, bright and tight.  In its original worn, rubbed and chapped dust wrapper, with some tape repairs (quite nicely done) on the interior.  

A selection from American journalist, Edward J Morrow’s broadcasts made between 1338 and 1961, standing as a permanent testament to the great reporter.  He had a front-row seat at some of the most important events in recent history, and In Search of Light is also a public diary of a turbulent quarter of the last century.  Here is Ed Murrow reporting from the rooftops of London in wartime, living with young American soldiers on a troopship in the Atlantic, describing the orchestrated hell of a bomb run to Berlin and responding with outraged disbelief to the horrors Buchenwald.
