Whether you're a war correspondent or an aid worker, a tourist
worried about an increasingly hostile world or an armchair traveler
concerned that your own backyard is fast becoming a war zone, "How
to Avoid Being Killed in a War Zone" will help you survive some of
the world's most volatile environments.
Well-traveled journalist Rosie Garthwaite offers practical
advice drawn from her own personal experience and that of others,
including many seasoned colleagues, who have worked in some of the
world's most hostile regions. Topics covered include everything
from avoiding land mines and hostage situations to amputating a
limb and foraging for safe food. The book is a true survival manual
(all medical advice has been vetted by doctors from Doctors Without
Borders), but it is also a transporting read, filled with vicarious
thrills and written with brio and humor by a woman who has seen it
all. Perfect for those planning short trips or extended stays in
dangerous destinations, or-much like the popular Worst-Case
Scenario handbooks-for readers who simply prefer to be thoroughly
prepared, wherever life may take them.
Rosie Garthwaite began her journalistic career as a freelance
reporter in Basra, Iraq, just after graduating from college, and
learned about survival in dangerous regions firsthand. She wrote
this book to answer some of the questions her colleagues seemed to
face daily in the field. Garthwaite works as a television
journalist in the Middle East and is based in Doha, Qatar. This is
her first book. ]
