Looking for Trouble

“One of the truly great war correspondents: magnificent” Antony BeevorThis sensational 1941 memoir of life on the frontline of wartime Europe by a trailblazing female reporter is a rediscovered classic, introduced by Christina Lamb….Paris as it fell to the Nazis……London on the first day of the Blitz……Berlin the day Germany invaded Poland……Madrid in the Spanish Civil War……Prague during the Munich crisis……Helsinki as the Russians attacked……Moscow betrayed by the Germans… Virginia Cowles has seen it all.As a pioneering female correspondent, she reported from Europe from the 1930s into the Second World War, watching `the lights in the death-chamber go out one by one` from the frontline – always in the right place at the right time. Flinging off her heels under shellfire; meeting Hitler (“an inconspicuous little man”); gossiping with Churchill by his goldfish pond; dancing in the bomb-blasted Ritz; reading `The Intelligent Woman`s Guide to Socialism` on a Soviet train; eating reindeer with guerrilla skiers… Introduced by Christina Lamb, Cowles` incredible dispatches will make you an eyewitness to the twentieth-century as you have never experienced it before.”An amazingly brilliant reporter … One of the most engrossing [books] the war has produced.” New York Times Book Review
