Invisible Walls

More about the book

"In 1939, Hella Pick arrived in Britain as a child refugee on a Kindertransport from Austria. Over the next four decades, she would establish herself as a trailblazer for women in journalism, as she covered the volatile global scene, reporting on the end of Empire in West Africa, the assassination of President Kennedy, Martin Luther King's march from Selma to Montgomery, the Vietnam peace negotiation in Paris, the birth of the Solidarity movement in Poland and the closing stages of the Cold War. The story of how a Kindertransport survivor found herself at the centre of the twentieth century's greatest events, Invisible Walls is a clarion call for professionalism and exceptionalism in journalism from one of our world's most important political correspondents" -- Provided by publisher
