John Gunther patril medzi najznámejších a najobdivovanejších novinárov svojej doby. Jeho séria kníh „Inside“, počnúc titulom „Inside Europe“ v roku 1936, boli mimoriadne populárne profily hlavných svetových mocností. Jeden kritik poznamenal, že Guntherovým osobitným darom bolo „spojiť najlepšie vlastnosti novinára a historika“. Bol to dar, na ktorý čitatelia nadšene reagovali. Knihy zo série „Inside“ sa predali v 3,5 milióna výtlačkoch počas tridsiatich rokov. Zatiaľ čo verejne vystupoval ako bonviván a skromná celebrita, Gunther v súkromí zažil sklamanie a tragédiu, vrátane straty svojho syna. Svoje klasické pamäti „Death Be Not Proud“ napísal na pamiatku odvahy a ducha tohto výnimočného chlapca.
