"Martha Gellhorn was so fearless in a male way, and yet utterly capable of making men melt," writes New Yorker literary editor Bill Buford in the foreword to Gellhorn's terse, fast-moving, utterly fascinating memoir. The basis for the HBO movie Hemingway and Gellhorn, the book chronicles the globetrotting adventures of one of the 20th century's great war correspondents, both with Ernest Hemingway and on her own. With razor-sharp humor and exceptional insight into place and character, she tells of a tense week spent among dissidents in Moscow; long days whiled away in a disused water tank with hippies clustered at Eilat on the Red Sea; and her journeys by sampan and horse to the interior of China during the Sino-Japanese War. This edition also includes photographs of Gellhorn with Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Gary Cooper, and others.
