  <default-description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;From Martha Gellhorn&amp;#8217;s critically acclaimed biographer, the first collected letters of this defining figure of the twentieth-century&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Martha Gellhorn&amp;#8217;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. While Gellhorn&amp;#8217;s wartime dispatches rank among the best of the century, her personal letters are their equal: as vivid and fascinating as anything she ever published. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gellhorn&amp;#8217;s correspondence from 1930 to 1996&amp;#8212;chronicling friendships with figures as diverse as Eleanor Roosevelt, Leonard Bernstein, and H. G. Wells, as well as her tempestuous marriage to Ernest Hemingway&amp;#8212;paint a vivid picture of the twentieth century as she lived it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Caroline Moorehead, who was granted exclusive access to the letters, has expertly edited this fascinating volume, providing prefatory and interstitial material that contextualizes Gellhorn&amp;#8217;s correspondence within the arc of her entire life. The letters introduce us to the woman behind the correspondent&amp;#8212;a writer of wit, charm, and vulnerability. The result is an exhilarating, intimate portrait of one of the most accomplished women of modern times. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Maybe you've never heard of Martha Gellhorn, that's okay. She was from another time, when writing letters was common. Real letters, like with paper. And maybe you've never read a book of someone else's letters, either. I haven't until now. I wondered  if it might be a little creepy, a little shamefu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29413998">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Martha Gellhorn is my personal hero. She had glamorous lovers, an illustrious career in journalism, good taste, and the courage to live a life worth writing about. It is the later achievement I most admire. She took risks and was willing to live with the outcomes. <br/><br/>All this is ascertained...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1920929">more...</a>]]></body>
