Her death was reported on the front page of the New York Times, and she received tributes from President Eisenhower, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault, Cardinal Francis Spellman of New York, and others.
She interviewed and analyzed for the Times: Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, De Valera, Dolfuss, Popes Pius XI and XII, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower
She wrote several books:
The World at Home

St. Agnes Church. Cleveland. Ohio. An interpretation
Europa e Stati Uniti secondo il New York Times : la corrispondenza estera di Anne O'Hare McCormick, 1920-1954
President Eisenhower called her "a truly great reporter, respected at home and abroad for her keen analysis and impartial presentation of the news developments of our day. She will be greatly missed by all the members of the newspaper profession and the hundreds of thousands of readers who followed her column in the New York Times." British Foreign Minister Eden called her a "champion of all good causes." French Foreign Minister Bidault said "this woman... has left us at a moment when her courage and her clairvoyance would have been particularly precious for us."
