liz1966 's review for:

On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist by Clarissa Ward

4.0

I've been an observer and appreciator of Ms. Ward's reporting for some time, so I was excited to hear that she had penned a book about her life and career. I wish it had been longer. She discussed parts of her childhood and the path she took to become a passionate and reliable reporter. The passages about her time in Syria were fascinating and descriptive. Being a Russophile, I would have been interested in learning more about her encounters with those who likely had a hand in the poisoning of Alexy Navalny-but the book was published before these events occurred. Hoping that she writes a follow-up in the future.
