Synopsis
'The list of female war reporters is long and distinguished. But the great-grandmother of them all was Clare Hollingworth ' Mail on Sunday 'She was a pioneer' Kate Adie OBE 'Unputdownable' Alexander McCall Smith 'One of the most unforgettable journalists I have ever met' Chris Patten ONE OF THE INSPIRATIONS BEHIND THE NEW BBC DRAMA WORLD ON FIRE . Legendary pioneering journalist Clare Hollingworth died in Hong Kong aged 105 in January 2017 after an illustrious career spanning the great events of the 20th century. Clare was famous for getting ' the scoop of the century ': t he outbreak of the World War 2 . From witnessing the first aerial bombings against England in the First World War, through Hitler's Blitzkrieg , Clare's r sum included desert war in North Africa, civil war in Greece, terrorism in Jerusalem, naming Philby as the Third Man, and guerrilla warfare in Vietnam and Borneo. She had an uncanny ability to make headlines throughout her century-long life. And although her style of journalism was very different from the 24-hour breaking rolling news we have today, the need for detailed eye-witness reporting seems even more important today as we face an onslaught of fake news and alternative facts. The story is not just about news and war however: through access to family papers and personal accounts, her great-nephew Patrick Garrett is able to show Clare in three dimensions, explain her life and loves, and show how she dealt with the pressures of life as a correspondent - decades before women were routinely accepted in this role. facebook.com/celebrateclare twitter.com/celebrateclare, 'The list of female war reporters is long and distinguished.

- s***l (11)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat seller, good value. The book arrived ina timely manner although I didn't understand why usps shipping routed the order out of state and then back when I live in the same city. I guess that's how the routes are set up. Anyhow. Good packaging although some bubble would be appreciated, it came in good condition, as described and definitely a valuable purchase. Thank you & God Bless 🙌
- l***e (114)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufVery fast service and shipping. Packaged well and with care. Item better than described. Good communication and price. Will not hesitate to deal with again. Superb seller! AAAA+++
- c***r (562)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufMost importantly, the book condition was as specified. Many thanks for that. Also, the book was delivered promptly from the US to the UK. Also, the price was reasonable for an out-of-print book. However, one point of constructive criticism: the packaging could have been much better, in order to better protect the book in transit. The book was sent in a bubble-wrap mailer only. It would have benefited greatly from cardboard packaging. Thank you very much for any consideration of my feedback.Power: A Scientific Approach (Nr. 187431076956)
