He did all of this while suffering from a potentially fatal illness, diabetes. Although the tall, gangly reporter had been...2021-11-101h 19

In war, no information is complete. No intelligence absolute. No view of the enemy unobstructed. There’s no such thing as perfect knowledge. It is a realm of uncertainty, where decisions are made on flawed and often outdated data — as though looking through a fog.Hence the term, the fog of war, a military phrase with origins in the musings of a 19th century Prussian general called Carl von Clausewitz.

Here, based on archival research and old magazine interviews, I present part of his incredible story.
