In 1938 the civil war in Spain is drawing to its sad and inevitable end and the story is covered by Carlo Weisz, a foreign correspondent working for Reuters in Paris. He's actually Italian, having fled to Paris along with thousands of other intellectuals unable to stomach Mussolini's fascist government. There they founded ''Liberazione'', an underground newspaper which is smuggled back into Italy, in the hope of enlightening Italians about what is happening in their country. Whilst Weisz is in Spain the paper's editor is murdered by OVRA, Mussolini's secret police and Weisz becomes the new editor. ''The Foreign Correspondent'' is the story of how Weisz and his fellow émigrés who produce ''Liberazione'' are pursued by the Sûreté, Mussolini's OVRA and the British Secret Intelligence Service, all with their own agendas, their own ideas for the future of the paper.
