Russell of \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e of London, described himself and his profession as “the miserable parent of a luckless tribe.” But it wasn’t long before others saw it differently. \u003ci\u003eHell Before Breakfast \u003c\/i\u003eis the spectacular tale of larger-than-life Americans who made it their business to bring back news from the front; from Bull Run to the Paris Commune, from Africa to the Ottoman Empire, through decades of lightning-fast technological progress and high adventure.  As America matured into a great power and the monarchies of Europe battled for dominance through a series of brief, bloody imperial wars, with the storm clouds of World War I drawing rapidly closer, these men and their newspapers were at center stage—the vanguard of a golden age of war correspondence.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert H.
