Book Synopsis
Follows a journalist who returns to Prague after its annexation and finds her efforts to obtain help for the refugees and to convey the shocking state of the country both frustrating and futile.

Trade Review
"A brave, final novel. Its writing is quick with movement and with sympathy; its people alive with death, if one can put it that way. It leaves one with aching heart and questing mind." (New York Herald Tribune) "The translation of [Gellhorn's] personal testimony into the form of a novel has... force and point." (Times Literary Supplement) "Miss Gellhorn... is an admirable reporter. She has intelligence, feeling, a seeing eye, and she writes a clean, contemporary prose.... [A Stricken Field] is a compelling book and a moving one." (New York Times)"
