Reviews

Dispatches From the Front

"A dynamite read . . . Should be in every war correspondent's past, present and future kit bag."

-Colonel David A. Hackworth, correspondent for Newsweek and author of About Face.

"Beautifully written . . This masterful collection is for anyone who appreciates good writing and loves journalism. It is a moving account of our republic that honors the best in our profession."

-Edward Barnes, TIME.

Dispatches From the Front is a first rate book about the men and women who reported the gallantry, the raw courage and the horror of America's wars. Nathaniel Lande is both a teacher and a scholar in his vivid account of these correspondents, who became opinion makers helping to shape an emerging nation."

-William Friday, President Emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Cricket

“An extraordinary, sensitive novel…thoughtful…extremely moving…a powerful testimony to courage and faith."

-The New York Times

" Heart warming and heart breaking. A novel you will treasure."

- Publishers Weekly

“A novel that demands attention and has something to say. Nathaniel Lande's focus and feeling will open your eyes to what courage and life are all about.”

-Atlanta Constitution

The 10 Best of Everything

“A rich dreambook for those of us still waiting for our own ships to come in. Loggng over 4,000,000 miles, and compiled by veteran travelers Nathaniel and Andrew Lande, this extravagantly entertaining volume has historical and literary journeys, a whole host of trips and expeditions for any taste and to every continent including Antarctica, each complete itinerary a unique variation upon the theme of the 21st century Grand Tour. Highlighted with vintage posters and color illustrations, cosmopolitan sidebars, engaging personal narratives, and famous contributors and correspondents, sets the book apart from any other travel book. Savvy tips, with a wide array of detailed information on luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, and more, this elegant and sophisticated treasury of travel lore will awaken the wanderlust in readers everywhere”.

-National Geographic

"Mr. Lande's life is just as extraordinary as The 10 Best of Everything with lists, vignettes and reproductions from his vintage poster collection that are sprinkled throughout the book. How else does one describe a man whose father took him as a young boy to China and India and crossed the Khyber Pass into Burma, who plays Polo with the world class players in Argentina, who was taught to tap dance by Tommy Tune, who was married to Bob Hope's daughter and is now married to a former Russian ballerina, who was a college professor, who worked with Mike Wallace, Walter Cronkite and Gregory Peck?"

-Marilyn Mahon, Santa Barbara News Press, May 21, 2006.
