Pressezitat
“A brilliant anti-war book that is as fresh as if written for this morning. Seldom can a correspondent assemble past writings from various locations and watch a clear pattern emerge, yet her pieces fall into place in a grand design. Her opinions, because they are rooted in these finely drawn scenes deserve to be read by many people.” —Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times“An eloquent, unforgettable history of a chaotic century.” —Jeffrey Rodgers, The San Francisco Chronicle
“Reading Martha Gellhorn for the first time is a staggering experience: How is it possible to have been so ignorant for so long of a writer who has written so passionately about so much—the terrible victory of Franco, the fall of Czechoslovakia, of Poland, the liberation of Paris from the Nazis, the brutality of the civil war in El Salvador? She is not a travel writer, or a journalist or a novelist: She is all of these, and one of the most eloquent witnesses of the twentieth century.” —Bill Buford, Granta
“A vivid, militant book by an intense and merciful writer.” —Edward Weeks, The Atlantic Monthly
“One of the best correspondents whom the War produced, and today her articles are as fresh as striped shirts returned from the wash.” —The New Statesman
“One great value of the book is that to the young who have not known war firsthand it will show the price paid in human misery when men seek to settle their disputes by force.” —Saturday Review
“Compelling . . . [Gellhorn’s essays] bear witness to horrifying atrocities, but they also delight with lyrical prose, touches of humor and a well-drawn thrill or two that the author experienced firsthand.” —Publishers Weekly
