The leaflet says he was the first Western journalist In Hiroshima after the A-bomb attack. Also, he was stationed in North Korea throughout much of the Korean war, he met Ho Chi Minh during the battle of Dien Bien Phu, and he was the first journalist to report from the liberated zones of South Vietnam.
