Funny  fascinating  heart-breaking and heroic….Ward has an extraordinary tale to tell.-Anderson
Cooper  author of Dispatches from the Edge The recipient of multiple Peabody and Murrow awards
Clarissa Ward is a world-renowned conflict reporter. In this strange age of crisis where there
really is no front line  she has moved from one hot zone to the next. With multiple assignments
in Syria  Egypt  and Afghanistan  Ward  who speaks seven languages  has been based in Baghdad 
Beirut  Beijing  and Moscow. She has seen and documented the violent remaking of the world at
close range. With her deep empathy  Ward finds a way to tell the hardest stories. On All Fronts
is the riveting account of Ward's singular career and of journalism in this age of extremism.
Following a privileged but lonely childhood  Ward found her calling as an international war
correspondent in the aftermath of 9 11. From her early days in the field  she was embedding
with marines at the height of the Iraq War and was soon on assignment all over the globe. But
nowhere does Ward make her mark more than in war-torn Syria  which she has covered extensively
with courage and compassion. From her multiple stints entrenched with Syrian rebels to her deep
investigations into the Western extremists who are drawn to ISIS  Ward has covered Bashar
al-Assad's reign of terror without fear. In 2018  Ward rose to new heights at CNN and had a
son. Suddenly  she was doing this hardest of jobs with a whole new perspective. On All Fronts
is the unforgettable story of one extraordinary journalist-and of a changing world.
