She wanted to be the best foreign correspondent in postwar Europe so that she could show her socially prominent mother that she was just as good as she was. And she wanted to prove to the men correspondents that she was better than they were. . . . .Intensely ambitious, unscrupulous and amoral, Carla was utterly indifferent to the misery in vanquished Germany. For her, the only thing that mattered was to beat the other reporters at their own game- and any method, fair or foul, would serve her purpose. Perfectly willing to use her beauty to crack the impossible story or score the important scoop, she offered her charms freely to any man who would feed her drive for success. . . . .More than a picture of a power-ridden woman, Carla's story is a frightening report on life behind the headlines in devastated and demoralized Germany. Although it is fiction, its characters and events could be real. . .See photos for additional content. . .
