Summary
[edit]DescriptionBud Uanna State Department Polk Conspiracy p.2.jpg |
English: The Polk Conspiracy by Kati Marton - Farrar, Straus and Giroux 1990. George Polk's body after it was recovered from Salonika Bay in Greece in May, 1948. Polk grew up during the Great Depression and had been a World War II fighter pilot in the Pacific. His writing and spoken radio broadcasts were considered excellent. He was one of "Murrow's Boys" - a group of foreign radio correspondents for CBS News. Murrow's broadcasts from London during the Nazi Blitz before the United States entered World War II made Murrow famous. Polk was well respected by his colleagues and Murrow stood behind Polk's reporting from Greece about the corruption he had uncovered in the way Marshall Plan money and supplies were distributed to the newly installed Royalist government of King George II and the way the Civil War was being portrayed. William "Wild Bill" Donovan, who had been head of the World War II Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was sent to Greece by Washington to get to the bottom of Polk's murder. It appears that the real killers got away. Anyone contemplating a serious career in journalism, diplomacy or intelligence will learn a lot from Ms. Marton's book. There is a lot to think about in this well written book. Polk was quite a guy, some of the other people, well, check it out. |
