On All Fronts

CNN's chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, narrates her own life story as an award-winning conflict journalist. Both her writing and delivery are concise, clear, and to the point. Listeners follow Ward as she acquires these communication skills as a fledgling journalist in post 9/11 Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria. Her viewpoint as a feminist covering the words and actions of men at war is refreshingly unique. The audiobook takes listeners behind the international headlines Ward so passionately reports on. Most prescient are her observations as a human and not a journalist. Whether she's describing the unexpected violence she witnessed towards Uyghurs in China or the bottomless desperation she found while filming in posttsunami Japan, Ward's narration leaves an imprint on listeners.
