Dean Yates was the ideal warzone correspondent: courageous, compassionate, dedicated. After years of facing the worst, including the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami, one final incident undid him. In July 2007, two of his staff members were brutally gunned down by American fighter pilots in Iraq. What followed was an unravelling of everything Yates thought he knew of himself. His PTSD was compounded by his moral wound -- the devastation of what he thought he knew of the world and his own character and beliefs. After years of treatment, including several stints inside a psychiatric facility, Yates has reshaped his view of the true meaning of life. Here, in all its guts and glory, is that journey to a better way of being. Yates has been to the blackest heart of humanity and come out with strength and hope. Line in the Sand is a memoir that is going to resonate for generations to come. It tackles the most important topic of our age in an unforgettable way.
