Duration: 60 minutes
What does it mean to report from the frontline? Two compelling records of wartime journalism—Andrew Quilty's astonishing first-hand account of America's final days in Afghanistan, and Anthony Cooper's gripping history of five correspondents on a deadly air raid in 1943—reveal the devastating cost of war and the lessons we can learn from those who witness it for a living.
