Reviews"An honest, candid portrayal of the making of a journalist and the stories behind getting the story. With great empathy, Ward shows us what her viewers don't see--the logistical, physical and emotional challenges of going to the worst places--and the toll it takes. A timely reminder of the importance of bearing witness, and why there is no substitute for gutsy on-the-ground journalism."-- Rania Abouzeid, author of No Turning Back. Life, Loss, And Hope In Wartime Syria, "Ward, CNN's chief international correspondent, recounts her life in journalism in this insightful memoir...She details her often harrowing experiences that eventually took a toll on her physical and mental well-being...But it's the connections she made with the civilians that really tell the story of these war-torn regions and demonstrate an empathy that makes Ward's work so accessible...Ward surprises in this affecting insider view of international reporting." -- Publishers Weekly " On All Fronts takes the reader on a riveting journey of storytelling as Ward crisscrosses the globe in a relentless quest to become the acclaimed Chief International Correspondent she is today. From Russia to China to Syria, the reader watches her navigate the most intense of human experiences while finding the tools to stay emotional."-- Lynsey Addario, author of It's What I Do "War correspondents have long been caricatured as vain figures of parachutist self-glory. Clarissa Ward, for all of her onscreen unflappability, has risked this investigative memoir to reveal herself as a reporter of rare modesty in her courage, rare empathy in her diligence, and rare reflection in her daring. This is a poignant and vigorous self-portrait of a journalist graced and burdened with a supreme sense of duty." --Gideon Lewis Kraus, author of A Sense of Direction " On All Fronts is funny, fascinating, heart-breaking and heroic. Clarissa Ward doesn't just take us to the front lines of the world's most dangerous places, revealing the pain and pleasure of being a foreign correspondent, she gives us a startling, and often hilarious look, at her own unconventional, almost unimaginable childhood. How did a continent-hopping Eloise, who was banished at ten to a dismal British boarding school, wind up in Beijing as a stand-in for Uma Thurman on a Quentin Tarantino film, and then break into the news business and become one of the great foreign correspondents of our time? Read on... Ward has an extraordinary tale to tell." --Anderson Cooper, author of Dispatches from the Edge "An honest, candid portrayal of the making of a journalist and the stories behind getting the story. With great empathy, Ward shows us what her viewers don't see--the logistical, physical and emotional challenges of going to the toughest places--and the toll it takes. A timely reminder of the importance of bearing witness, and why there is no substitute for gutsy on-the-ground journalism."-- Rania Abouzeid, author of No Turning Back.
