Lowell Thomas
Preeminent American radio commentator, explorer, author and journalist. After graduating from college he made the first of innumerable trips to various parts of the world, starting with Alaska, which in was then a largely unknown territory to most Americans. Upon his return, he gave lectures about his trip, which were so popular that they earned him a commission from Woodrow Wilson to make an on-the-scene historical record of World War I. This work lead to many important contacts, especially with General Edmund Allenby and Col. T. E. Lawrence, which became the basis of another very successful lecture series when he came back home and really helped launch his career. In , he published his first, and most popular book, With Lawrence in Arabia. In he went to work for Columbia Broadcasting System and began a radio career that spanned more than years. In he filmed and narrated the first of many travelogues for 20th Century-Fox. During WW2 he traveled to virtually all the war zones, and broadcast vivid reports. In , at the invitation of the Dalai Lama, he traveled to Tibet, becoming one of the first Americans ever to so. Content provided by: H G Books.
