Cabell Phillips was a member of the Washington Bureau of The New York Times for twenty-seven years until he retired in 1972. He was also a well-known writer on public affairs. His publications include his books The Forties: Decade of Triumph and Trouble, The Truman Presidentcy, and articles including The West Virginia Mine War (1974) and The Town that Stopped the Clock (1960). He also published a series in 1966 in The Times, “The New York Times Chronicle of American’ Life”, which he approached as a journalistic replication of the American past.
"[Phillips] has a remarkable gift for condensing the events of a period and bringing out the essence of a situation or controversy... [he] neatly summarizes the effect of the social revolution on the arts and popular culture of the time and shows how an isolationist nation was gradually sucked into World War II... I do not hesitate to recommend it..." -Library Journal
