Ghosts By Daylight - Janine di Giovanni
Wherever AK-47s were aimed in anger or graves dug for tragically young casualties, Janine di Giovanni was there. As a war correspondent she reported from the world's battlefields for more than two decades.
While the datelines were often dismal -- Sarajevo, Algeria and the Ivory Coast, her life among the ruins was not all grim. She fell in love with a French war photographer, married and gave birth to a son. She gave up covering humankind at its worst and adopted a settled, comfortable life in Paris.
But if she thought she was done with war, she discovered war was not done with her. Janine di Giovanni's new memoir is called Ghosts by Daylight: Love, War and Redemption. Janine di Giovanni joined us from New York.
