Our guest is Clarissa Ward, CNN’s chief international correspondent, who joins us to talk about her new autobiography. As noted of this work by a critic with Booklist: "Ward details her often harrowing career in this page-turning memoir.... Readers will come away with at least a basic understanding of multiple international conflicts. This is a wonderful addition to the list of recent titles about women working in war-torn lands." And further, from Publishers Weekly: "[An] insightful memoir.... It's the connections [Ward] made with the civilians that really tell the story of these war-torn regions and demonstrate an empathy that makes [her] work so accessible.... Ward surprises in this affecting insider view of international reporting."
