Description
Under the Wire: A harrowing account of friendship and survival in war-torn Syria. In February 2012, two determined individuals, a veteran photographer and a celebrated journalist, embarked on a perilous mission to document the brutal Syrian regime. Their goal was to expose the harsh realities of life under Assad's rule, but tragedy struck before they could complete their assignment. A rocket killed the journalist, Marie Colvin, and severely injured the photographer, Paul Conroy. As Syrian ground forces closed in, Conroy made a desperate bid for survival, forced to navigate the treacherous landscape with a shattered leg. This book tells the epic and untold story of Conroy's friendship with Colvin during their last assignment together, as well as the courage, rebellion, and survival of those living through the carnage of war. Through this gripping narrative, Conroy recounts his harrowing experience, shedding light on the human cost of conflict in Syria.
