Description

If you want to know about writing, about how to make others share the horror and intensity of an experience, try the first piece in this collection, Justice at Night.

Martha Gellhorn wrote it as a 28-year-old, having just returned home to the States after four years in Europe, in 1936.

What follows is a selection of fifty years of peacetime journalism, history caught at the moment of its unfolding, as it looked and felt to those who experienced it.

It's about revolutions in the making, guilty acts of state terrorism, poverty, injustice and recovery. It vividly captures the range and intensity of Gellhorn's courageous work and is also a passionate call to arms, not only to remember the wronged and to bear witness to evil, but to stand your ground in the face of it.
