“Ethelene Whitmire has presented a great gift to readers, rescuing a fascinating character from the mist of history and presenting his story in vivid detail and graceful prose. The Remarkable Life of Reed Peggram more than lives up to its title, reminding us that the struggle for freedom is a tale worth telling from as many angles as possible”. —Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of King: A Life “Ethelene Whitmire has rescued the astonishing story of an American scholar who crossed a war-torn continent and whose life was nearly erased. The Remarkable Life of Reed Peggram is at once deeply researched and grippingly told, a testament to survival, love, and the human spirit.” —Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author of The Aviator and the Showman: Amelia Earhart, George Putnam, and the Marriage that Made an American Icon “A sympathetic portrait of an extraordinary man.” —Kirkus Reviews
