The Go-Between

In a similar vein, I recommend Looking for Trouble[0], a memoir by Virginia Cowles. I haven't finished it, but it's a look back at her time as a foreign correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and World War II.

I found it courtesy a comment from cooldrcool1 on a very short discussion here on HN[1, 2].

This is just too much to read in 2025.
