Description:
Jack Casserly arrived in Rome in 1957 as a young correspondent for the International News Service, and there he stayed for seven years, covering such matters as papal politics in the time of John XXIII, whom Casserly counted as a friend; Italy's struggle to rebuild its economy after years of war; and the rise of European communism in a time of Cold War containment. He does this all with great good humor, often at his own expense as a blundering American trying to navigate through daily life in a city famed for dissimulation and not-quite-straight answers. Written 30 years after his tenure in Rome, Casserly's memoir reads as freshly as today's news.
