ON ALL FRONTS - CLARISSA WARD KARTONIERT (TB)

"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.
