Description
When armed rebels entered Sierra Leone's besieged capital, Freetown, in 1999, journalist Ian Stewart and two of his Associated Press colleagues were ambushed while driving down the street. One of them was killed and Stewart was shot in this head. Miraculously he survived and in this book gives us his frank account of the extraordinary risks he and other journalists take when reporting the news from remote, war-ravaged countries. Ambushed gives a compelling glimpse of the surreal world journalists inhabit as they bear witness to the unspeakable. This book is both an inspiring personal story and an in-depth look at the day-to-day life of a war correspondent.
