In Extremis: The Life and Death of The War Correspondent Marie Colvin by Lindsey Hilsum

Well-written revelatory description of this incredible person's life. In awe at the clear risks, she took to get her war stories, I also found myself questioning her sanity. Is this what journalists who wish to cover wars accurately need to do, and do readers really want to demand this level of selfless dedication that may lead to death? This book further exposes Marie Colvin's toxic often debilitating personal behaviors that appeared to derive in large part as a consequence of the death-defying life this journalist embraced with a mixture of understandable fear as well as the incredible courage she had to gather multiple times to enter war zones and do her job.
