Martha Gellhorn died in February 1998, just shy of her 90th birthday.
Well before her death, she had become a legend. She reported on wars
from Spain in the 1930s to Panama in the 1980s, and her travel books
have become classics. Her marriage to Ernest Hemingway and affairs with
legendary lovers like H. G. Wells, and her relationship with two
presidents, Roosevelt and Kennedy, reflect her campaigns against tyranny
and deprivation, and her outrage at the corruption and cruelty of
modern governments. This controversial and acclaimed biography portrays a
vibrant and troubled woman who never tired of fighting for causes she
considered just.
