![]() ![]() This was a very well researched book, and I loved how thoughtfully it was put together. Her home life was messy, she had many relationships, but they couldn't hold up under her lifestyle. She was hard drinking, smoked continuously, partied hard, but somehow managed what few others reporting could and did. They showed the world the injustices happening. When other reports left the dangerous areas for safety, she would stay longer, always aware that her stories mattered. ![]() She would leave part of herself in Sri Lanka, and report on carnages everywhere. Would meet Gaddaffi, who was one strange duck.Īrrafat and his wife would befriend and try to protect her. She reported on all the major atrocities of our times. She was full of contradictions, throwing herself in danger in the most notorious places, yet yearning for a stable, loving marriage and children. Now she would never gain her father's approval, something that haunted her. Her father often despaired of his daughters decisions, and his early death left Marie feeling guilty and needy. Her life from the beginning was one of non conformity. Fearless, reckless, addicted to adventure and danger, all descriptions used to describe war correspondent, Marie Colvin. ![]()
