Laurence Edward LeSueur (June 10, 1909 - February 5, 2003) was an American journalist, who was a war correspondent during World War II. He worked closely with Edward R. Murrow and was one of the original Murrow Boys. LeSueur covered the war across Europe, filing radio reports from Russia and London. He covered the war on London After Dark, along with Murrow and Eric Sevareid. He reported extensively from the Soviet Union after he was assigned to Moscow in 1941. LeSueur covered D-Day, the liberation of Paris, as well as the concentration camp liberations. He delivered the first broadcast to American listeners from a liberated Paris via underground radio broadcast. He was cited by the War Department for "outstanding and conspicuous service" and awarded the French Legion of Honor and French Liberation Medal. On D-Day, LeSueur landed on Utah Beach. It took a week until his broadcasts from the first day of Normandy could be heard by U.S. listeners. On the June 18 edition of CBS World News Today, LeSueur gave his account of landing at Normandy and witnessing the Allied bombings across the beaches, the surrenders of Nazi soldiers, and his eventual arrival to the skirmish in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont just hours after the landings. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom for his reporting on World War II. LeSueur also penned a book in 1943, Twelve Months That Changed the World, about important Eastern Front battles he covered in 1941 and 1942 for CBS. Derived from a Kirkus review: If you have any customers who have been waiting for the one book of the season on Russia which will come closest to doing all that could be asked (of one book), this is their meat. Larry Lesueur made a name for himself with his broadcasts from Russia; many people who do not follow syndicated stories and news reports in the press, do listen to the international hook-up. The year he records in this book began with October when Moscow seemed about to fall; and carries through the miraculous saving of Stalingrad. That year encompassed the amazing halt and subsequent retreat of the German forces from the very gates of Moscow; it includes the offensive of the Russian Fall and Winter; it records the fall of Rostov, of Sevastopol; it ends on the triumph of a second miracle at Stalingrad, and the saving of the Caucasus oil fields. Lesueur left for Archangel from a Scottish port, by the northernmost route, before Germany saw the necessity of sinking the supplies which might well soon be their own; but when he left, he he flew back. He spent that year shuttling back and forth from Kuibyshev to Moscow; he took successive authorized trips to recently repossessed fronts, to industrial centers, to collective farms. He gives an intimate picture of how people are living, of the looks of the streets, of the food problems, the clothes, the moving pictures, the music and the ballet; he reflects the changing mood, never one of defeat, but one of intense exhilaration at times, of serious determination always; he indicates a gradually changing attitude towards foreigners, from suspicion and fear to friendliness. The demand for the second front, the inside interpretation of the Churchill visit, the aloofness -- at first -- towards Wendell Willkie, the reception of the news of the Dieppe raid, of the North African landing, etc. He covers more ground, individually, than any of the other journalists writing from Russia, and he writes supremely well, with color and vigor and pace.
