false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180400157m/1035535.jpg 1035535 4 <div><b>The first major biography of legendary war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, whose life provides a unique and thrilling perspective on world history in an extraordinary time</b><br><br>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. The preeminent-and often the only-female correspondent on the scene, she broke new ground for women in the male preserve of journalism. Her wartime dispatches, marked by a passionate desire to expose suffering in its many guises and an inimitable immediacy, rank among the best of the twentieth century.<br><br>A deep-seated love of travel complemented this interest in world affairs. From her birth in St. Louis in 1908 to her death in London in 1998, Gellhorn passed through Africa, Cuba, China, and most of the great cities of Europe, recording her experiences in first-rate travel writing and fiction. A tall, glamorous blonde, she made friends easily-among the boldface names that populated her life were Eleanor Roosevelt, Leonard Bernstein, and H. G. Wells-but she was as incapable of settling into comfortable long-term relationships as she was of sitting still, and happiness often eluded her despite her professional success. Both of her marriages ended badly-the first, to Ernest Hemingway, publicly so. <br><br>Drawn from extensive interviews and with 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.<br></div> 1021866 1 10 2003 Gellhorn: A Twentieth Century Life total:41|5:8|4:23|3:7|2:3| 41 159 67 8 1035535 0805065539 9780805065534 28 5 3.88 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180400157m/1035535.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1035535.Gellhorn_A_Twentieth_Century_Life 4 0 false Sat Jan 31 14:08:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 14:09:13 -0800 2009 301178 0805076964 9780805076967 12 3 3.88 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173536959m/301178.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/301178.Gellhorn_A_Twentieth_Century_Life 0 0 false Thu Sep 20 14:03:03 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 04 10:49:27 -0700 2008 301178 0805076964 9780805076967 12 3 3.88 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173536959m/301178.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/301178.Gellhorn_A_Twentieth_Century_Life 4 0 true Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sun Feb 17 20:41:43 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 20:43:46 -0800 2008
