"Two Minutes till, Midnight is a companion piece to But We Were Born Free. In the, earlier book Elmer Davis bade us live and fight and die for it., Brilliantly, passionately he calls us to greatness, to a clear, realization that our acts as individuals and a nation will, nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth." "As, Director of the Office of War Information, Davis recommended to, President Roosevelt that Japanese-Americans be permitted to, enlist for service in the Army and Navy and urged him to oppose, bills in Congress that would deprive Nisei of citizenship and, intern them during the war. He argued that Japanese propaganda, proclaiming it a racial war could be combated by deeds that, counteracted this. Davis has been termed one of the "unsung, forefathers" of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an all-Nisei, combat unit in the war. Davis was also instrumental in, loosening censorship rules that forbade the publication of, images of dead GIs on the battlefield. Until late 1943, the U., S. Office of Censorship only permitted the media to publish, images of blanket-covered bodies and flag-draped coffins of, dead U. S. Soldiers, partly for fear that Americans would be, demoralized if they had any graphic understanding of the human, price being paid in the war. The government also restricted, what reporters could write, and coverage was generally upbeat
