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

Over the past months, viewers have watched Clarissa Ward, CNN’s chief international correspondent, report  from the Syria-Turkish border as Kurdish families fled Turkish artillery; Ukraine, where she went to the front lines of the Ukrainian army’s fight against Russian-backed separatists; from inside a Russian troll factory in Ghana; and most recently on COVID-19 vaccine human trials at the University of Oxford—while eight months pregnant, from her living room home base. With her deep empathy for those suffering and her fearless dedication to speaking truth to power, Ward is world-renowned as a conflict reporter. The recipient of  multiple Peabody, Murrow, and Emmy awards, she has spent the past fifteen years reporting for four major  networks and moving from one hot zone to the next, her journalism defined by this age of extremism. In her gripping new memoir, ON ALL FRONTS: The Education of a Journalist (Penguin Press), Ward tells the story of her singular career and how she has documented the violent remaking of the world from close range.
