      After finishing high school, Kantor became a reporter for The Webster City Daily News, of which his mother was an editor. He subsequently lived in Chicago for a number of years before returning to Iowa as a columnist for the Des Moines Tribune. He wrote many short stories for popular and pulp magazines and achieved recognition for his first historical novel, Long Remember (1934), a story about Gettysburg.

      During World War II Kantor was a war correspondent with the British Royal Air Force and also served as a gunner in the U.S. Air Force.
