Asia Ernie

Pat Killen's collection of stories and memories of the exhilarating life of Earnest Hoberecht (pronounced Ho-bright), good old boy and war correspondent for United Press, stationed in Asia 1945-1988, is part modern history, part fascination, part legend. He reveals some secrets about Ernie's confidant, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and tells of Ernie's four wives, one a part-Asian beauty, and his efforts to keep afloat a major international news service.
