If you loved Kate Moore's The Radium Girls or Sonia Purnell's A
Woman of No Importance, you'll be enthralled with this untold story
of how Katharine Clark, a trailblazing journalist, exposed the
truth about Communism to the world. Meticulously researched and
written by Clark's great-niece, Katharine Gregorio, The Double Life
of Katharine Clark is historical narrative nonfiction at its
finest. It is a fascinating Cold War adventure story about a
remarkable woman who pioneered a career in a man's profession,
vividly illuminating a largely untold chapter of the twentieth
century. In 1955, Katharine Clark became the first female American
wire reporter behind the Iron Curtain, providing essential
eyewitness reports of post-war Europe and the revolutions in Poland
and Hungary to the American public. It was while on assignment in
Belgrade, Yugoslavia that she befriended Milovan Djilas, a
high-ranking Communist leader and intellectual, who became
disillusioned with Communism and published a number of newspaper
articles criticizing the practices of the regime. He was stripped
of his duties and arrested before being released under the watchful
eye of the Yugoslavian secret police. Clark risked her life to
ensure Djilas's articles made it to the West, and she was
single-handedly responsible for smuggling his scathing
anti-Communism manifesto, The New Class, out of Yugoslavia and into
the hands of American publishers. The New Class would go on to sell
three million copies worldwide, become a New York Times bestseller,
translated into over 60 languages, and be used by the CIA in its
covert book program. The Double Life of Katharine Clark shows how a
strong-willed, fiercely independent woman with an ardent commitment
to truth, justice, and freedom put her life on the line to share
ideas with the world, ultimately reshaping both herself—and
history—in the process.
