Virginia Cowles OBE was born in Vermont in 1910. She gravitated to journalism in her youth, writing features for Hearst Newspapers, and reported from Civil War Spain in 1937. She then covered wartime Europe as a roving correspondent for the Sunday Times among other publications, as well as the BBC and NBC. Celebrated by Antony Beevor as 'one of the truly great war correspondents of all time', Cowles recalled her experiences in her memoir Looking for Trouble (1941), which Faber are republishing with a new foreword by Christina Lamb. She later reported from North Africa as special assistant to the American ambassador in London. In 1945, Cowles married Aidan Crawley, a British journalist and former fighter pilot who had spent years in a German POW camp and later became a politician and film-maker; they had three children. As well as writing a play with Martha Gellhorn, Cowles was a historian and biographer whose subjects included Winston Churchill and the Romanov, Rothschild and Astor families. She was killed in an automobile accident in France in 1983.
