Point of No Return

In her afterword, Martha Gellhorn traces the roots of the novel in her own experience as a war correspondent who first heard of the Nazi concentration camps during the Spanish Civil War and herself got to Dachau a week after American soldiers discovered the camp at the end of a village street. Martha Gellhorn, the renowned war correspondent and peacetime journalist, is the author of "The Face of War" and "The View from the Ground". Her much-admired fiction includes "Weather in Africa" and "Honeyed Peace: Stories".
