First published in 1959, but now offered in a revised and expanded edition, The View from the Ground presents over six decades of Gellhorn\'s ruminations on political, civil, and social issues and crises, from a lynching in the American South in the 1930s through a recent visit to Cuba to see what is new and what remains the same in a country that is still off limits to most Americans.
Gellhorn\'s ability to get to the truth of a situation heard makes her writing transcend the short shelf life.
