English journalist, novelist, and critic, West is perhaps best-known for her reports on the Nürnberg trials (1945-46). She started her career as a columnist for the suffragist weekly the Freewoman in the 1910s. Kenneth Tynan described her in 1954 as "the best journalist alive". West's companion for ten years was H.G.Wells. Their son Anthony also established himself as a noted author and critic. |

THE NEW MEANING OF TREASON |
ORION PUBLISHING (1 Jun 00) |
|
| |
|
This is Dame Rebecca West's classic analysis of World War II treachery and an exploration of the impulse to betray. Beginning with the trials of William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) and John Amery for treason after the war, the author takes the reader from a London devastated by war on an exploration into the inner world of treachery, describing "the sufferings which overtake people who live unnaturally and cut the bonds which bind them to their own country". |

BLACK LAMB & GREY FALCON |
CANONGATE (25 Nov 93) |
|
| |
|
First appearing in two volumes in 1942, this book was written as a result of the author's three journeys to Yugoslavia: one in 1936, another in 1937 and finally, in the summer of 1938. At first, she thought it was folly to consider a book on such a subject and it seems that her publishers thought so too. But the book became a historical, archaeological and political analysis of the country, as well as a conversation and an account of folklore, prophecy, and a record of landscape. |
