A firsthand chronicle of political upheaval, ideological conflict, and journalistic suppression, Onward Christian Soldiers presents the long-censored dispatches of Donald Day, a Chicago Tribune foreign correspondent who reported from Eastern Europe for over three decades beginning in 1921. Day's reports document the turbulent interwar period across the Baltic states and beyond, painting a vivid and unfiltered portrait of a continent wracked by revolution, nationalism, and the rise of totalitarian powers — accounts that his editors back in Chicago chose to keep from the American public. Written with the unflinching directness of a seasoned war correspondent, the narrative argues that the mainstream press actively shaped — and distorted — public understanding of Eastern European affairs during one of history's most consequential periods. With an introduction by Walter Trohan, former chief of the Tribune's Washington bureau, this volume lends institutional weight to Day's controversial legacy and invites readers to question what was reported, what was buried, and why. A provocative document of journalism, history, and political dissent, it leaves the reader to wonder how many other truths remain hidden in the archives of the twentieth century's great newspapers.
