Lael Wertenbaker was born on March 28, 1909 in Bradford, Pennsylvania, United States.
Wertenbaker entered the University of Louisville at 16, but never received a formal degree.
She was awarded honorary degrees by Keene State College in 1975 and Franklin Pierce College in Rindge, in 1982.
Labeled a “dangerous woman” by a Nazi propaganda official for her reporting from Germany for the Time magazine, Wertenbaker went on to have a successful career both as a journalist and novelist. She joined the Time staff in 1938 and from 1940 to 1941 covered the Nazi government in Germany. During the war, she covered governments in exile in London and later reported from Paris. Wertenbaker left Time in the early 1950's.
Her breakthrough book, Death of a Man, was published in 1957 under the name Lael Tucker and was a memoir of her husband’s death from colon cancer.
She mixed novel writing and journalism throughout her career and was a regular contributor to Fortune, Life, and U.S. News and World Report. Wertenbaker also wrote television scripts for the 20th Century series for CBS.
