AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "An affecting, singular
story...a bracing tale of life on the edge of death." —Kirkus
Reviews When veteran war reporter Benjamin Hall woke up in Kyiv on
the morning of March 14, 2022, he had no idea that, within hours,
Russian bombs would nearly end his life. As a journalist for Fox
News, Hall had worked in dangerous war zones like Syria and
Afghanistan, but with three young daughters at home, life on the
edge was supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet when Russia
viciously attacked Ukraine in February 2022, Hall quickly
volunteered to go. A few weeks later, while on assignment, Hall and
his crew were blown up in a Russian strike. With Hall himself
gravely injured and stuck in Kyiv, it was unclear if he would make
it out alive. This is the story of how he survived—a story that
continues to this day. For the first time, Hall shares his
experience in full—from his ground-level view of the war to his
dramatic rescue to his arduous, and ongoing, recovery. Going inside
the events that have permanently transformed him, Hall recalls his
time at the front lines of our world’s conflicts, exploring how
his struggle to step away from war reporting led him back one
perilous last time. Featuring nail-biting accounts from the many
people across multiple countries who banded together to get him to
safety, Hall offers a stunning look at complex teamwork and
heartfelt perseverance that turned his life into a mission. Through
it all, Hall’s spirit has remained undaunted, buoyed by that
remarkable corps of people from around the world whose collective
determination ensured his survival. Evocative, harrowing, and
deeply moving, Saved is a powerful memoir of family and friends, of
life and healing, and of how to respond when you are tested in ways
you never thought possible. Benjamin Hall’s memoir includes a
16-page color photo insert.
Dispatches from the Edge meets In an Instant in this dramatic
memoir of war, family, resilience, and recovery from Benjamin Hall,
the Fox News journalist who was gravely injured by a Russian drone
attack in the early days of the invasion of Ukraine. Over the
course of his career, seasoned war correspondent Benjamin Hall
covered some of the deadliest armed conflicts of our time,
including violence in Syria, Libya, and Somalia. But with a young
family at home, Hall chose to trade life on the edge for a safer
beat covering the US Department of State. Then Russia viciously
attacked Ukraine in February 2022. Though he knew the dangers of
war and was no longer traveling to war zones, Hall quickly accepted
the assignment. He had to tell this story-Americans needed to
understand the gravity of this stunning, world-altering conflict.
Though he had witnessed and survived years of violence, on March
14, a month into the invasion of Ukraine, Hall and his crew were
hit by a Russian drone strike, killing his cameraman and a fellow
journalist and gravely injuring him. Stuck inside the warzone, it
was feared Hall might not make it out alive. This is the story of
how he survived-including his dramatic rescue and his arduous and
ongoing recovery. For the first time, Hall shares his experiences
in full-of his time in Ukraine and on the frontlines of the world's
most perilous conflicts, of the terrible attack that nearly killed
him, of the love of his family, of the strength and perseverance it
has taken to endure multiple surgeries and learn how to walk again.
Going inside the events that have permanently transformed him, Hall
speaks honestly about the struggle to step away from the peril and
how his years of experience kept him safe-until they failed him.
And he pays tribute to American service members who not only helped
save him, but decades earlier rescued his father, who, during World
War II at age twelve, escaped a Japanese camp in the Philippines
and eventually reached American GIs. Most remarkably, Hall's spirit
has remained undaunted throughout his ordeal-a spirit of hope and
positivity which infuses this exceptional story. Evocative,
harrowing, and deeply moving, Untitled is a powerful memoir of
family and perseverance, of life and healing, and of what to do
when you are tested in ways you never thought possible. Benjamin
Hall's memoir includes a 16-page color photo insert.
