Martha Gellhorn, a renowned war correspondent, embarked on perilous journeys to cover some of the most significant conflicts of the 20th century. Her reporting took her to hotspots such as the Spanish Civil War, World War Two, the Vietnam War, and the Arab-Israeli wars. Gellhorn's exceptional talent and dedication earned her a position writing for Collier's magazine, a prestigious publication that could only send one journalist to cover the invasion of France in June 1944. However, her journey was not without its challenges. Despite being denied access by her own magazine, Gellhorn refused to give up. With the help of her estranged husband, Ernest Hemingway, who was at the height of his fame as a writer, Gellhorn managed to secure a pass to accompany the soldiers invading France. The night before the invasion, Gellhorn ingeniously convinced a hospital ship to let her on board, hiding herself in the lavatory until it was too late to send her back. Once ashore, she bravely served as a nurse, tending to both Allied and German casualties. Her reports, filled with vivid details and insightful observations, captured the hearts and minds of readers worldwide. Hemingway, however, faced a different fate. Due to bad weather, his boat turned back, leaving Gellhorn alone to continue her reporting from the front lines. Gellhorn's unwavering determination and courage in the face of adversity exemplified her as one of the greatest war correspondents of all time. Her stories continue to inspire and inform us about the horrors and heroism of war.
