The World Through the Eyes of a Solo Reporter

"I usually write my reviews about books after I finish reading them, but this time I couldn't wait longer. I just couldn't. This time the book is about conflict all over the world: In the Hot Zone: One Man, One Year, Twenty Wars by solo journalist, Kevin Sites. Which one of us doesn't remember the U.S. soldier's image shooting an unarmed insurgent in a mosque in Fallujah during the 2004 Fallujah battle? It was Kevin Sites who shot that controversial footage.

I bought the book from Borders bookstore a few days ago after leafing through its pages. I have heard a lot about Sites, but never had the chance to read his reports. Along with the book, came the DVD documentary "A World of Conflict," a must-see film that I watched last night."
