Looking for Trouble - Virginia Cowles

Get ready for some serious historical name dropping - Virginia Cowles has seen it all.

This is a memoir crowded with stories from Madrid during the Spanish Civil War, London on the first day of the Blitz, and Prague during the Munich crisis.

Cowles’ writing brilliantly captures the atmosphere and dialogue surrounding these events from a first hand perspective. In her foreword, Christina Lamb describes Cowles as the Forrest Gump of journalism and we can’t think of a better comparison.
