The Face of War
The Face of War | Martha Gellhorn
2 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
Martha Gellhorn (1908–1998) was a war correspondent for nearly fifty years. From the Spanish Civil War in 1937 through the wars in Central America in the mid-eighties, her candid reports reflected her feelings for people no matter what their political ideologies, and the openness and vulnerability of her conscience. “I wrote very fast, as I had to,” she says, “afraid that I would forget the exact sound, smell, words, gestures, which were special to this moment and this place.” Whether in Java, Finland, the Middle East, or Vietnam, she used the same vigorous approach. Collected here together for the first time, The Face of War is what The New York Times called “a brilliant anti-war book.”

#24in48 hour 12 challenge: these two books have greatly expanded and influenced my worldview. Martha Gellhorn has taught me not to take the press at face value and to question all governments. She journeyed across the world to report on wars and their affects on local populations.

The 2nd book is about 3 different mother-daughter relationships in 3 different areas of Palestine and how religion, politics and wars affected each of them.
