Martha Gellhorn was one of the world's greatest war correspondents,
travelling to hotspots to report on conflicts including the Spanish
Civil War, World War Two, the Vietnam War and the Arab-Israeli
wars. She wrote for Collier's magazine, which could only send one
journalist to cover the invasion of France in June 1944. When
Ernest Hemingway - Gellhorn's estranged husband and the most famous
writer in the world - offered his services, they took away
Gellhorn's pass and gave it to him. Undeterred, the night before
the invasion she blagged her way on to a hospital ship and locked
herself in the lavatory until it was too late to send her back. She
worked as a nurse on board, treating both Allied and German
casualties before going ashore with the soldiers, filing her
brilliant reports from the scene of the battle. (And Hemingway? His
boat turned back because of bad weather.)
