Description
A Private War by Marie Brenner tells the story of Sunday Times Foreign Affairs correspondent Marie Colvin, who risked everything to report from the front lines of war. In February 2012, she crossed into Syria on her motorcycle, defying government decree and facing danger head-on.
Colvin's fearless reporting had taken her to some of the world's most conflict-ridden regions, including Egypt, Chechnya, Kosovo, and Libya. But it was in Syria that she would meet her end, in an explosion that shocked the world.
This book is a brilliant re-creation of Colvin's final days, told by veteran journalist Marie Brenner. It also includes Brenner's classic accounts of encounters with other notable figures, offering a unique glimpse into the life and work of a remarkable woman who lived on the front lines.
