Lindsey Hilsum's new book tells the story of Marie Colvin, the brave and daring journalist who, throughout a career distinguished by bravery and compassion, was driven to shine a light on the realities of some of the world's most devastating conflicts from the 1980s until 2012, when she was killed covering the war in Syria.

After she was hit by a grenade in Sri Lanka in 2001 she was tormented by debilitating nightmares, and was eventually diagnosed with PTSD. Nevertheless, Marie continued her work, documenting the suffering of ordinary people enduing war.
