Alvaro Francisco Hidalgo Rodriguez's Reviews > In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin

This a book which is somewhat boring in the beginning, but staying with it becomes super rewarding. Ms Colvin was an intrepid journalist and flawed in her personal life, but one of those flawed people that made life fun for those around her. As you get to know the seemingly fearless reporter and the hard drinking woman struggling to find love and fight her demons, you understand that you probably couldn’t have one without the other. I think she died the way she would have wished, but when you finish the book, that realization doesn’t make it any less sad.
