This poignant memoir by John Gunther chronicles the life and untimely death of his son, Johnny, at the age of 17 from a brain tumor. Published in 1949, “Death Be Not Proud” is a heartbreaking yet beautifully written account of a young life cut short, and a father’s unflinching love in the face of tragedy. Gunther’s raw and honest portrayal of his son’s battle with illness resonated deeply with readers, making this book a classic in the genre of autobiographical literature. Beyond its literary merits, the book also serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring bond between parent and child. This 1965 edition, with its well-worn cover and creased spine, bears the marks of a cherished read, passed down through generations of readers moved by Gunther’s elegant prose and profound emotional depth.
