Insight

Jack Randall #3.6

by Randall Wood

Danny Drake is hungry. A good supply of natural talent, some reporters luck, and a natural ability to sniff out a good story have landed him a dream job at The Washington Post. But covering D.C. crime for the metro section is not the career he had envisioned. When fate gives him a chance to shadow a veteran photographer on an assignment to war-torn Syria he jumps at it without really understanding what it means.

Like many things in war, for those who lack the proper insight the lessons come quickly, and not without some pain.

A young Washington Post reporter makes his first overseas trip to war-torn Syria with an experienced photographer. Graphic stuff.

Interesting

I liked the gradual education of the young & naive journalist. He went to Syria at first for the opportunity to win a Pulitzer prize. I'm sure he left with a whole different prize.

Good and sobering insight

Very short and edgy. Wood has done it again and with yet another very different venue. He was either there himself or is a heck of a great interviewer. I now know more about the Syrian struggle than I knew before.

Fast Read

Excellent and fast paced story. I finished in one hour. Explosive eye opener of war torn places in the East.

Loved it

Reality like I've never seen, described by a virgins words. I look forward to more from this author. Great job!
