Robert K. Elder is a journalist in the noblest tradition. . . . What I will remember most about this book is its poetry in the speech of people at the most traumatic moment of their lives.”
Studs Terkelin his foreword to "Last Words of the Executed"
How necessary this book is! And how well-judged and written! Some of the best films ever made, as Elder proves, are lamentably all but unknown.”
Roger Ebertin praise of "The Best Film You’ve Never Seen"
An invaluable book for anyone interested in Hemingway or the development of a major creative mind.”
Scott Turowin praise of “Hidden Hemingway: Inside the Ernest Hemingway Archives of Oak Park”
