They sacrificed the pleasures of home and family and suppressed their own revulsion and fear to go into terrifying battle zones. These correspondents weren’t merely passive recorders of events. Bearing witness to the madness around them, they were often lone voices crying out warnings that went unheeded. Each of them faced unthinkable danger and overcame enormous obstacles in this pursuit.
Mackrell weaves together the narratives of six heroic and talented women as they pursue news stories in Europe and North Africa shortly before and during World War II. This is one of the most fascinating and engrossing books I’ve read in years. The Correspondents: Six Women Writers on the Front Lines of World War II
