In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin by Lindsey Hilsum
A life lived at the extreme both personally and professionally. Colvin took risks smuggling herself into war zones where all those who could, including reporters, were getting out fast. Often afraid she knew the risks and died too young in a rocket attack - brave, passionate - unforgettable. Powerfully told by a fellow war correspondent - except for her early life where she appears to have only been given bland facts with nothing that indicates what formed her.
(Lynda Johnson - bwl 91 Winter 2019 )
