Marie Colvin, described as "the greatest war correspondent of her generation", was killed in a rocket attack in February 2012 while reporting on the desperate suffering of civilians inside Syria's besieged Homs. Paul Conroy, who had forged a close bond with Colvin as they put their lives on the line time and time again to report from some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones, was with her.

What actually happens in a war
Revisado: 03-30-22
A vivid retelling of an experience of a war from the perspective of a journalist who was much more. Feels as close as it gets to being there without actually being in the line of fire. Amazing, heartbreaking story. Thank you for writing this book. The reader also did a fantastic job.

Sierra On-Line was one of the very first computer game companies and at one time dominated the industry. The author, Ken Williams, founded Sierra On-Line with his wife Roberta who went on to create many of the company's best-selling games. Sierra grew from just Ken and Roberta to over 1,000 employees and a fan base that still exists today, despite the fact that the company was torn apart by criminal activities, scandal, and corruption that resulted in jail sentences and the collapse of Sierra.

Interesting anecdotes but overall uninspiring
Revisado: 01-30-22
I grew up with sierra’s games, not sure what I expected from this book other than to be reminded of the games for nostalgia and to learn of what happened to sierra. Unfortunately the book is way too long for what it is. Ken’s stories often sounded defensive and self praising, simple business lessons get too much airtime and seem overly explained. If you are not a business person you might find it interesting to hear of management stories and Wall Street transactions. If you have any management or entrepreneurial experience you might find the stories too basic and don’t drive to a deeper level.
