Saved : a war reporter's mission to make it home

Hall, Benjamin2023
Books
Over the course of his career, seasoned war correspondent Benjamin Hall covered some of the deadliest armed conflicts of our time, including violence in Syria, Libya, and Somalia. But with a young family at home, Hall chose to trade life on the edge for a safer beat covering the US Department of State. Then Russia viciously attacked Ukraine in February 2022. Though he knew the dangers of war and was no longer travelling to war zones, Hall quickly accepted the assignment. He had to tell this story - Americans needed to understand the gravity of this stunning, world-altering conflict. Though he had witnessed and survived years of violence, on March 14, a month into the invasion of Ukraine, Hall and his crew were hit by a Russian drone strike, killing his cameraman and a fellow journalist and gravely injuring him. Stuck inside the warzone, it was feared Hall might not make it out alive. This is his story.
