She has covered Kosovo, Israel, Palestine and Syria. Places of peril. Places of misery. She has been in these kinds of places for ten years and has reported on these places with a lyrical proficiency worthy of praise, reflection and trust. She has written books on these places. She has vocalized her contempt for naïve and blood-thirsty editors. She believes these places deserve better than that: they deserve truth. She believes in readers, too; that they deserve not to simply know these places, but to understand them. Best of all, she has eternalized these places, these Hells-on-Earth, with a haunting radiance that is perhaps no better showcased than in her following words on Aleppo.
