Historia Barry Bradford will explore one of the earliest examples of embedded journalism and how Pyle traveled alongside the infantry instead of covering the “big picture” of the war. Marching alongside the average G.I. Joe – a term he helped popularize – Pyle recorded the daily gripes, fears, and small moments of humor encountered by the foot soldiers marching through Italy and Germany.
