Abstract
Luigi Barzini Sr. was one of the top war correspondents of the early twentieth century, according to war journalism historian Phillip Knightley. Yet Barzini's reports from the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), which made him a celebrated figure in Italy, have not previously been translated or analyzed in English. This article details Barzini's early life and Russo-Japanese newspaper correspondence, focusing on his eye for detail, appreciation of soldiers, cultivation of sources, and insistence on being a truthful witness. It draws on Barzini's papers in Italy's national archive and his correspondence in Corriere della Sera, accessed via Italy's national library.
