(see photographs) "Rather than adding to the heroic accounts of flak-jacketed foreign correspondents in danger zones, Flirting with Danger is an altogether more candid account of what really preoccupies the war reporter on assignment. Siobhan Darrow tells her story . with an eye for the telling details, with a relish for the absurd and, time and again, with disarming honesty." - The Financial Times. "Former star correspondent for CNN Siobhan Darrow covered the world's hottest war zones over the last two decades, reporting from the front liens in Moscow, Chechnya, the Balkans, Albania, Israel, and Northern Ireland. Her fearless pursuit of stories placed her in countless life-threatening situations, prompting Darrow to wonder what about her character so attracted her to the adrenaline rush, and so alienated her from the family life part of her longed for. Darrow approacheds this question with the same honesty -- and seat-of-the-pants courage -- that established her reputation as a premiere reporter, and the answers she arrives at form this riveting memoir of a woman assigned to cover history in the making, even as she chases down the most elusive "get" of all: her own happiness." - from the rear outer cover. "The more you read of Flirting with Danger, the more you put the book down and exclaim: Is this woman Bridget Jones in a flak-jacket and fatigues?" - The Scotsman. "The bravest part of Flirting with Danger is not in fact the chilling accounts of front lines and shell-dodging for interviews. It's Darrow's willingness to admit that much of the time she had love on the brain." - Los Angeles Times.
