The first major biography of legendary war correspondent Martha
Gellhorn casts "a vivid spotlight on one of the most
undercelebrated women of the 20th century" ("Entertainment Weekly")
Martha Gellhorn's heroic career as a reporter brought her to the
front lines of virtually every significant international conflict
between the Spanish Civil War and the end of the cold war; her
wartime dispatches rank among the best of the century. From her
birth in St. Louis in 1908 to her death in London in 1998, the
tall, glamorous blonde passed through Africa, Cuba, Panama, and
most of the great cities of Europe. She made friends easily-among
them Eleanor Roosevelt, Leonard Bernstein, and H. G. Wells-but
happiness often eluded her despite her professional success: both
of her marriages ended badly, the first, to Ernest Hemingway,
dramatically and publicly so.
Drawn from extensive interviews and exclusive access to Gellhorn's
papers and correspondence, this seminal biography spans half the
globe and almost an entire century to offer an exhilarating,
intimate portrait of one of the defining women of our times.
