Hardback. Condition: Good. Zero Dark Thirty meets 127 Hours - a riveting war journal from photographer Paul Conroy, who accompanied Marie Colvin (called by her peers &ldquothe greatest war correspondent of her generation?) during her ill-fated final assignment in Syria.Marie Colvinwas an internationally recognized American foreign war correspondent who was killed in a rocket attack in 2012 while reporting on the suffering of civilians inside Syria. She was renowned for her iconic flair and her fearlessness: wearing the pearls that were a gift from Yasser Arafat and her black eye-patch, she reported from places so dangerous no other hard-core correspondent would dare to go. Paul Conroy, who had forged a close bond with Colvin as they put their lives on the line time and time again to report from the world's conflict zones, was with her when she died. Under the Wire is Paul's gripping, visceral, and moving account of their friendship and the final year he spent alongside her. When Marie and Paul were smuggled into Syria by rebel forces, they found themselves trapped in one of the most hellish neighbourhoods on earth. Fierce barrages of heavy artillery fire rained down on the buildings surrounding them, killing and maiming hundreds of civilians. Marie was killed by a rocket which also blew hole in Paul's thigh big enough to put his hand through. Bleeding profusely, short of food and water, and in excruciating pain, Paul then endured five days of intense bombardment before being evacuated in a daring escape in which he rode a motorbike through a tunnel, crawled through enemy terrain, and finally scaled a 12-foot-high wall. Astonishingly vivid, heart-stoppingly dramatic and shot through with dark humour, in Under the Wire Paul Conroy shows what it means to a be a war reporter in the 21st century. His is a story of two brave people drawn together by a shared compulsion to bear witness.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. NOW A MAJOR FEATURE DOCUMENTARY'Unrelentingly gripping' New York TimesIn February 2012, determined to cover the realities of the brutal Syrian regime under Assad, veteran photographer Paul Conroy and celebrated journalist Marie Colvin smuggled themselves across enemy lines and into the blood and terror of Homs. But tragedy struck before the pair could finish documenting the slaughter. A rocket killed Colvin and ripped a hole in Conroy's leg. As Syrian ground forces closed in on his position, Conroy was forced to make a terrifying last-ditch attempt to escape from a regime that appeared determined to murder him, just as it had so many of its own citizens. Under the Wire is the epic, untold account of Conroy and Colvin's friendship amid their last, tragic assignment together - but it is also a tale of the courage, rebellion and survival of people living in the carnage of war.Praise for Paul Conroy's Under the WireDelivers a 'razor-sharp, soul-searching intensity' Damien Lewis 'A gripping depiction of courage amid the carnage' Daily Mail'Compelling and harrowing'Stephen Applebaum, the Independent 'If you're a journalist. this is the book you should read.
