內容簡介

曾有一個時代,記者願意捨命,只因深信「真相」能改變世界
她是英勇的傳奇,戰爭的見證者,也是堅毅而無畏的女性
戰地記者瑪麗‧柯爾文

◆電影《私人戰爭》主角的實際人生
◆身經百戰,只為見證真實,傳遞真相


瑪麗‧柯爾文,是歐美家喻戶曉的偉大戰地記者。她曾隻身訪問利比亞狂人「瘋狗」格達費,也在以巴衝突的硝煙中與阿拉法特會面,還獲贈珍珠。她走訪戰地,無懼砲火,關注殘破世界裡珍貴的一絲人性。即使她在轟炸中瞎了左眼、左耳失聰,但仍止不住她凝視真實、報導真相的熱情,之後更以「獨眼」的女俠形象深深烙印在世人的記憶當中。二○一二年,她不幸死於敘利亞的戰火,將畢生都奉獻給了戰地記者這份職業。

在《深入絕境:戰地記者瑪麗‧柯爾文的生與死》中,瑪麗的同事琳賽・希爾遜細膩地梳理了她近乎傳奇般的經歷。她獲得獨家授權,透過研究瑪麗從十三歲起就寫下的私密日記,以及對許多親友的深度訪談,經過多方深度調查,才寫成這本動人心弦的傳記。在世人眼中,她是勇者,是英雄,是戰爭的證人,是一位堅毅而反叛的女性;在這本傳記中,讀者更能看到,她也是有血有肉、時而脆弱、時而迷惘的個人。她因為性別而受到不同的眼光和待遇,也和所有人一樣,會恐懼、會掙扎,僅有平凡的肉身,但她不曾因此卻步,直到死亡都仍體現人性與人道的精神。

本書不僅是一位非凡女性的傳記,也是二十世紀末一系列重要的國際爭端、人道危機的回顧,更可以讓我們看見:敢於深入絕境的戰地記者,曾經在國際大事現場扮演的重要傳真角色,與他們為接近真相而做的人生選擇。書中充滿了故事,也令我們重新思考新聞行業的理想、真相的價值,在今天這個資訊混亂的時代看來更令人動容。透過瑪麗‧柯爾文的一生,或能喚起「我們需要什麼樣的新聞」的省思。

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. Finalist for the Costa Biography Award and long-listed for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence.

"Now, thanks to Hilsum’s deeply reported and passionately written book, Marie Colvin has the full accounting that she deserves. " --Joshua Hammer, The New York Times

The inspiring and devastating biography of Marie Colvin, the foremost war reporter of her generation, who was killed in Syria in 2012, and whose life story also forms the basis of the feature film A Private War, starring Rosamund Pike as Colvin.

When Marie Colvin was killed in an artillery attack in Homs, Syria, in 2012, at age fifty-six, the world lost a fearless and iconoclastic war correspondent who covered the most significant global calamities of her lifetime. In Extremis, written by her fellow reporter Lindsey Hilsum, is a thrilling investigation into Colvin’s epic life and tragic death based on exclusive access to her intimate diaries from age thirteen to her death, interviews with people from every corner of her life, and impeccable research.

After growing up in a middle-class Catholic family on Long Island, Colvin studied with the legendary journalist John Hersey at Yale, and eventually started working for The Sunday Times of London, where she gained a reputation for bravery and compassion as she told the stories of victims of the major conflicts of our time. She lost sight in one eye while in Sri Lanka covering the civil war, interviewed Gaddafi and Arafat many times, and repeatedly risked her life covering conflicts in Chechnya, East Timor, Kosovo, and the Middle East. Colvin lived her personal life in extremis, too: bold, driven, and complex, she was married twice, took many lovers, drank and smoked, and rejected society’s expectations for women. Despite PTSD, she refused to give up reporting. Like her hero Martha Gellhorn, Colvin was committed to bearing witness to the horrifying truths of war, and to shining a light on the profound suffering of ordinary people caught in the midst of conflict.

Lindsey Hilsum’s In Extremis is a devastating and revelatory biography of one of the greatest war correspondents of her generation.
