The biography of acclaimed 20th-century journalist Clare Hollingworth, who scooped the outbreak of World Conflict II. After an illustrious job spanning the 20th hundred years, legendary journalist Clare Hollingworth passed away in Hong Kong, aged 105, in January 2017. She was famous for getting 'the scoop of the hundred years': the outbreak of the next World Conflict. From witnessing the first aerial bombings against England in the First World Conflict through Hitler's Blitzkrieg, Clare's réamounté included desert warfare in North Africa, civil warfare in Greece, terrorism in Jerusalem, naming Philby as the 3rd Man, and guerrilla warfare in Vietnam and Borneo. She experienced an uncanny capacity to make headlines throughout her century-long life. And although her design of journalism was very different from the 24-hour breaking moving news we have today, the need for precise eye-witness reporting seems even more important today once we face an onslaught of false news and substitute facts. The storyline is not just about reports and warfare, however: through usage of family documents and personal accounts, her great-nephew Patrick Garrett can show Clare in three measurements, describe her life and loves, and show how she handled the stresses of life as a correspondent - decades before women were routinely accepted in this role.
