As a correspondent for TIME & LIFE, he reported the last bitter triumphs of Communism in China, covered guerrilla warfare in Indo-China, went along on a Chinese Nationalist bombing raid from Formosa to Shanghai. When war started in Korea, ex-Marine Fielder volunteered to cover it, left his wife and ten-month-old son behind in Hong Kong.
