<b>This sensational 1941 memoir of life on wartime Europe's frontline by a</b><b> trailblazing female reporter is an 'unforgettable' (<i>The Times</i>) rediscovered classic, introduced by Christina Lamb.</b><br><br><b>Paris </b>as it fell to the Nazis<br><b>London </b>on the first day of the Blitz<br><b>Berlin </b>the day Germany invaded Poland<br><b>Madrid </b>in the Spanish Civil War<br><b>Prague </b>during the Munich crisis<br><b>Lapland </b>as the Russians attacked<br><b>Moscow </b>betrayed by the Germans<br><b>Virginia Cowles has seen it all.</b><br><br>As a pioneering female correspondent, she reported from the frontline of 1930s Europe into WWII 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 ... Introduced by Christina Lamb, Cowles' incredible dispatches make you an eyewitness to the twentieth century as you have never experienced it before.<br><br><b>'A tour-de-force.' </b>Daily Mail<br><b>'Amazingly brilliant.' </b>New York Times<br>'<b>Fascinating</b>.' Justine Picardie<br>'<b>Breathtaking</b>.' Anna Funder<br>'<b>Thrilling</b>.' Sue Prideaux<br><b><i>'</i>A </b><b>long-overlooked classic that could not be timelier or more engrossing.</b>' Paula McLain<br><b>'One of the best memoirs of war reporting ever written.' </b>Caroline Moorehead<br><br><b>What readers are saying:</b><i><br><b>The queen of historical name-dropping</b><br><br><b>Holy cow! What a wonderful find!!</b><br><br><b>Most unexpectedly great book that I have read in years. Reads like a novel [but] this is real life.</b><br><br><b>The best book I've read this year ... Exquisitely written [day-to-day] drama of history ... Breathtakingly fresh.</b><br><br><b>I can't recommend this book enough. Cowles' voice and humanity are her greatest assets, but her willingness to be where the action was - and always find trouble - paid off.</b><
