From Alan Furst, whom The New York Times calls “America’s preeminent 
spy novelist,” comes an epic story of romantic love, love of country, 
and love of freedom–the story of a secret war fought in elegant hotel 
bars and first-class railway cars, in the mountains of Spain and the 
backstreets of Berlin. It is an inspiring, thrilling saga of everyday 
people forced by their hearts’ passion to fight in the war against tyranny.-

By 1938, hundreds of Italian intellectuals, lawyers and journalists, 
university professors and scientists had escaped Mussolini’s fascist 
government and taken refuge in Paris. There, amid the struggles of émigré 
life, they founded an Italian resistance, with an underground press 
that smuggled news and encouragement back to Italy. Fighting fascism 
with typewriters, they produced 512 clandestine newspapers. The Foreign 
Correspondent is their story.

Paris, a winter night in 1938: a murder/suicide at a discreet lovers’ 
hotel. But this is no romantic traged–it is the work of the OVRA, Mussolini’s 
fascist secret police, and is meant to eliminate the editor of Liberazione, 
a clandestine émigré newspaper. Carlo Weisz, who has fled from Trieste 
and secured a job as a foreign correspondent with the Reuters bureau, 
becomes the new editor.
Weisz is, at that moment, in Spain, reporting on the last campaign of 
the Spanish civil war. But as soon as he returns to Paris, he is pursued 
by the French Sűreté, by agents of the OVRA, and by officers of the 
British Secret Intelligence Service. In the desperate politics of Europe 
on the edge of war, a foreign correspondentis a pawn, worth surveillance, 
or blackmail, or murder.

The Foreign Correspondent is the story of Carlo Weisz and a handful 
of antifascists: the army officer known as “Colonel Ferrara,” who fights 
for a lost cause in Spain; Arturo Salamone, the shrewd leader of a resistance 
group in Paris; and Christa von Schirren, the woman who becomes the 
love of Weisz’s life, herself involved in a doomed resistance underground 
in Berlin.

The Foreign Correspondent is Alan Furst at his absolute best–taut and 
powerful, enigmatic and romantic, with sharp, seductive writing that 
takes the reader through darkness and intrigue to a spectacular denouement.-
