Book Report In Lynsey Addario’s book, she feels a sense of duty to report the things that she does in these dangerous war zones. I personally cannot relate to how she feels about her work. I do not have any interest in risking my life in order to get a picture, no matter how amazing or potentially world changing it might be. She has several experiences where she almost loses her life, for example, in chapter 5, specifically on page 120, she describes an attack in Iraq where she was taking photos, and she left at just the right time. A car bomb went off right where she was standing, and it killed a fellow journalist that was standing right next to her seconds before. For her, she took that as a sign of her good luck, but I would have taken that as a sign to get out of there for good. She was pushing her luck going back to war zones so many times, and she is lucky she didn’t end up like the man she met later in the book, Larry Rougle, whose luck ran out on his sixth tour in Iraq a
