Pyle, Ernie (Ernest Taylor Pyle)

The Oxford Companion to American Literature | 1995 | | © The Oxford Companion to American Literature 1995, originally published by Oxford University Press 1995. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Pyle, Ernie (Ernest Taylor Pyle) (1900–1945), journalist and war correspondent in North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific, whose syndicated articles formed the basis of Ernie Pyle in England (1941), Here Is Your War (1943), Brave Men (1944), and Last Chapter (1946). His familiar writing about American soldiers in World War II was the most popular produced during the war, and the author's death from a Japanese machine‐gun bullet on Iwo Jima made him a national hero.
