Non-Fiction Memoir
CBS News correspondent Kimberly Dozier battled back from
critical injuries sustained in a Baghdad bombing, a
prominent incident that claimed the lives of her two crew
members, an Army officer, and his interpreter. In Breathing
the Fire Dozier offers a personal memoir of tenacity as well
as dedication and drama. Through her often painful and
inspiring account, readers learn what wounded military
personnel-along with their families and friends-endure on
the long road to recovery. Dozier also recounts her rise to
network broadcasting, shares insights into the culture of
war-zone reporting, and describes the unique demands and
perils of women covering dangerous events. Dozier is a fighter. She fought to reach her position as a
television reporter for CBS News, placing herself on the
streets of Baghdad with a military patrol. And she fought to
survive after a parked car erupted with deadly shrapnel,
shattering her legs, riddling her skull, and killing several
in her group. Her book traces the roots of her inner
strength, which continues to propel her against daunting
obstacles that most people would perceive as insurmountable.
In that respect, this book is an inspiring story for women,
demonstrating that their dreams and aspirations are limited
only by their own resolve-a story that is perfect for its time.
