Front Line - Hardcover

The memoirs of Clare Hollingworth, frontline reporter who worked on equal terms with men in a tough, dangerous profession. The book is being published 50 years after she sent back her first despatches from Poland as German tanks rolled in. She lived in Peking after the cultural revolution, and during the Algerian war she went alone into the dangerous Casbah in Algiers. She pursued and finally broke the story of Kim Philby when no one believed that he was the third man and had vanished to Russia.

Clare Hollingworth is an award-winning journalist. Her previous book was Mao and the Men Against Him (1985).
