Martha Gellhorn mødte Ernest Hemingway første gang i julen 1936. Sammen rejste de kort efter til Europa for at dække Den Spanske Borgerkrig, hun for magasinet Collier’s Weekly i New York. Året efter rejste Gellhorn til Tyskland for at rapportere om Adolf Hitler, hans greb om magten i Centraleuropa og til sidst verdenskrigen, som hun gengav på første hånd, fra landgangen i Normandiet til befrielsen af kz-lejren Dachau. ”Jeg fulgte krigen, hvor end jeg kunne,” skrev hun senere. Martha Gellhorn og Hemingway dannede par i hen ved ti år, fra 1940 som mand og kone. Men noget almindeligt forhold var det ikke. Som Hemingway skrev i et brev fra Havanna i 1943, efter Gellhorn var rejst til Italien for at dække kampene ved fronten: ”Er du krigsreporter, eller er du konen i min seng?” Krigens ansigt er Martha Gellhorns egen samling af reportager fra årene 1937-45. Bogen udkom første gang i 1959 og står i dag tilbage som et journalistisk hovedværk.
