John Gunther (August 30, 1901 – May 29, 1970) was an American journalist and author whose success came primarily through a series of popular sociopolitical works known as the "Inside" books (1936–1972), including the best-selling Inside U.S.A. in 1947. He is best known today for the memoir Death Be Not Proud about the death of his teenage son, Johnny Gunther, from a brain tumor.
Personal life
Gunther was born in the Lakeview district of Chicago, growing up on the North Side of the city. He was the first child of a family of German descent. His father was Eugene Guenther, a traveling salesman and his mother was Lizette Schoeninger Guenther. During World War I the family changed the spelling of its name from Guenther to Gunther in order to avoid having a German-sounding name.
In 1922, he was awarded a Bachelor of Philosophy degree from the University of Chicago, where he was literary editor of the student paper.
He worked briefly in the city as a reporter for the Chicago Daily News, but soon moved to Europe to be a correspondent with the Daily News's London Bureau, where he covered Europe, the Balkans, and the Middle East.
"What interested me was not news, but appraisal. What I sought was to grasp the flavor of a man, his texture, his impact, what he stood for, what he believed in, what made him what he was and what color he gave to the fabric of his time."
"It's the equivalent of putting on the brakes suddenly while driving uphill."
"One travels like a golf ball, hopping from green to green."
"Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea"
"The first essence of journalism is to know what you want to know, the second, is to find out who will tell you."
"There are no generalizations in American politics that vested selfishness cannot cut through."
"perhaps the entire harrowing episode would make his brain even finer, subtler, and more sensitive than it was."
"It's just a great event that we participate in every year and it's a great time."
"I, for one, know of no sweeter sight for a man's eyes than his own country"
"If a man's from Texas, he'll tell you. If he's not, why embarrass him by asking?"
