Description

|
|
|
They came from Boston and New York, Milwaukee and San Francisco, Austin, Texas, and Sioux City, Iowa, leaving comfortable homes and safe surroundings for combat-zone duty. As women war correspondents, they brought a fresh view to the battlefields of World War II—wide-ranging and intimate, devastating one moment and heartbreaking the next. Here we meet Margaret Bourke-White, the only Western photographer to cover the Nazi invasion of the USSR; Martha Gellhorn, the wife of Ernest Hemingway who presciently reported on the menace of fascism; The New Yorker's Janet Flanner, recording the bleak realities of life in post-liberation France; and Marguerite Higgins, who entered Dachau just ahead of the American army. "These are my mentors, women of unstoppable nerve, heart, and talent."—Jane Kramer
