"Jeremy Bowen was in love with a job: addicted to reporting wars. From his first conflict in El Salvador in 1989, Bowen has covered wars for the BBC in Afghanistan and Chechnya, among other places, and worked extensively in the Balkans and the Middle East throughout the 1990s, including reporting the First Gulf War from Baghdad. In 2002, however, everything changed. The violent death of a close colleague and the birth of his first child made Jeremy re-assess his hazardous occupation, and ultimately decide that he owed it to his family to do something less dangerous. But the fascination remained, and in this riveting memoir he attempts to come to terms with his infatuation. Candid and compelling, War Stories is a gripping account of some of the late twentieth century's most divisive conflicts"--Rear cover.
