Lessons from the Front: A Rookie War Correspondent in Ukraine and Israel
25 years old and struggling to find his way in his journalism career, the young reporter who had been covering local political stories found himself smack in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical crisis - fleeing air raids and being questioned by militants along the way.
One year later when Hamas carried out its October 7th attack, Sherman flew right back into thick of it - running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza. While shrouded in the proverbial “Fog of War,” it became clear to Sherman that the world isn't as simple as he thought it was.

Lessons from the Front by Robert Sherman is a powerful and deeply personal look at modern conflict specifically in Ukraine and the Middle East. Sherman does a remarkable job weaving his firsthand experiences into a gripping narrative that highlights the immense humanitarian cost of war. His storytelling is vivid and honest, pulling you directly into the scenes he witnessed while showing how these moments shaped his own growth and worldview as a reporter. It’s an engaging, thoughtful, and impactful read that stays with you long after you put it down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in these conflicts, reporting, and/or the costs of war to a country and its people.

Sherman opens the book with a rather unconventional parallel: contrasting his role as a fraternity president to his role as a reporter in war-torn Ukraine a mere four years later. This works to paint a dramatic picture of just how young Sherman is during the events he’s reporting, and how dramatically life can shift in just a few short years.
It’s his youth and honesty that separate Sherman’s work from other accounts about reporters in war zones. He doesn’t hold back or soften the edges: he’s open about his life, his perspective, and the events that have played out in front of him. The book provides a rawness that feels refreshing in an era of filtered and curated social media feeds, distrust towards media sources, and ego.
Here, Sherman’s ego is nowhere to be found. As a reader, I was struck by how deeply Sherman lets the reader into his world. The way he honestly portrays his mother’s raw feelings when he is summoned to cover the war in Israel, his blatant terror as the sirens go off in Ashkelon, and his naivety when he arrives in Ukraine as a first-time reporter all work together to engage the reader and to create a level of familiarity between Sherman and his audience.
The book captures the humanity and the sacrifice that go into a war in ways that an American audience wouldn’t immediately consider. He talks about a Ukrainian poetry student turned fixer and a piano player outside of a train station providing a moment of peace for thousands of terrified refugees. In a way, they feel more like characters you would find in a film—Sherman’s book assures us that they are real.
This is perhaps the most important crux of Sherman’s work: the way war affects everyone around it. It’s not just the bombs and conflict we see playing out on our news screens: it’s the thousands of displaced citizens crowded at a train station, or a family trying to find a moment of peace on an ice rink. For a country whose shores have not been touched by war in a very long time, it’s a reminder for the American audience to, as Sherman says, “never take home for granted.”

“Lessons from the Front” is a strikingly candid account of a young journalist thrown into history before he ever expected it. Sherman opens with personal anecdotes that reveal his youth and uncertainty, but the tone quickly sharpens as he transitions from everyday life into the shock of Ukraine’s refugee corridors and the chaos of Israel after October 7. The contrast underscores how abruptly innocence collapses when confronted with war.
The strength of the book lies in its immediacy. Sherman does not write as a seasoned correspondent hardened by decades of conflict; instead, he writes as someone experiencing the brutality, fear, and humanity of war for the first time. His descriptions of families fleeing Kharkiv, overwhelmed train stations in Lviv, and the emotional weight carried by civilians feel unfiltered and deeply personal. That rawness lends the book a rare authenticity.
What emerges is not a geopolitical analysis, but a human one—an attempt to process trauma, resilience, and moral complexity in real time. Sherman acknowledges his own limitations, his confusion, and the steep learning curve he faced as a young reporter navigating war zones. In doing so, he gives readers a powerful, intimate window into events that shaped not only regions but also his own understanding of the world.

Robert Sherman, “Lessons from the Front”
This is quite a book. A brief introduction introduces a young man of twenty-five who has
suddenly, by chance or luck, become a war correspondent, moving from reporting puff
pieces on small market TV to the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza that are destablizing the
world order. By the first chapter he is learning on the job, unprepared for the reality of war.
In the freezing Ukranian towns and cities, jammed with uncounted thousands of exhausted
refugees fleeing the combat zones, as he dives for cover from incoming missles on the
Gaza border, he gets a rude and abrupt education on the cruelty, the terror, the misery and
waste of war. We walk through ruins of bombed houses. We listen to heartbreaking stories
in one-on-one interviews. The writing is personal, informal, almost as if the stories are being
related in the frat house that Sherman only recently left. But make no mistake, the
descriptions are thorough and clear. “Lessons from the Front” presents the ground level
images of the reality of today’s wars, realities we don’t confront from the safety and
comfort of our lives, images that won’t be easy to forget.
Good notes, references and documentation are provided

Lessons from the Front is a powerful, deeply human account of war told through the eyes of a young journalist thrown into history before he’s ready. Robert Sherman doesn’t posture as a battle-hardened correspondent; instead, his honesty, humility, and curiosity make the story feel immediate and personal. His writing is vivid and cinematic, pulling readers into Ukraine and Israel with clarity and emotional weight.
The book shines most when focusing on civilians caught in the chaos—mothers fleeing with children, refugees waiting hours in freezing cold for a way out, and ordinary people clinging to small moments of humanity. One especially moving scene involves a man playing piano at a train station to comfort those escaping the war, perfectly capturing the book’s emotional core: quiet resilience in the face of devastation.
This isn’t an academic analysis of geopolitics, and it doesn’t try to be. Instead, it offers a raw, firsthand perspective on what war feels like when experienced up close for the first time. If you’re looking for an accessible, emotional, and unforgettable war memoir, Lessons from the Front delivers.

This book pulled me in right away and never really let go. It is engaging, reads quickly without sacrificing depth, and is even funny at times, which makes the heavier moments hit even harder. The writing feels vivid and real without trying to impress you. It is humble and full of emotion in a way that makes you want to keep turning pages.
The part that stayed with me the most is when Robert describes his experience at Ashkelon. He creates what feels like thirty distinct moments in time within those thirty seconds. Every detail feels sharp. Every feeling comes through. I felt like I was right there next to him, caught between panic and survival. It is intense, raw, and impossible to forget.
You feel the weight of what he went through, and also what so many others have gone through because of war and violence. There is a sadness that stays with you, but also a sense of humility and strength in how he tells his story.
The book made me think about my own life, my priorities, and the things I take for granted. It is powerful, emotional, and incredibly authentic. It is the kind of book that stays with you long after you close it.

I have watched Robert's eyes as he has evolved as a journalist. I watched him cover hurricane Sally along our Gulf Coast, and because of that followed him on social media through the Ukraine/Poland. I watched him hold babies in orphanages in the Ukraine and discuss the behind-the-scenes and ugly realities of war.
When the war in Israel began, instantly messaged him through social media and asked him where he was. I recieved a photo of his feet in a plane and a short text, "touching down in Tel-Aviv." Our entire family watched his daily reporting -- and prayed for him. His reporting was considerably better than other networks. We watched them all. Wars change people and I knew it changed him because his eyes changed. They became less eager and less young, and more seasoned and wiser. He had seen things most people probably should not. We prayed not only for his safety but of all of those around him, and for those families in Israel.
This book perfectly captures the chaos and devastation of war from a fresh set of young eyes reporting and offers a fresh perspective.

I’ve watched Robert report for years, especially during his time with NewsNation, and his work has always stood out for its depth and compassion. Lessons from the Front Line captures that same storytelling ability in an incredibly powerful way. His writing takes you from the chaos of his early experiences into the heart of the wars in Ukraine and Israel, helping readers truly grasp the impact these conflicts have on the people living through them. What I’ve long admired about Robert is his ability to bring humanity to every story, and this book does exactly that—never sensationalized, always honest. Some moments are gripping, others unexpectedly humorous, but all are profoundly moving. Reading this gave me an even greater appreciation for the resilience of the people he met and the challenges he faced as a young correspondent. A compelling and meaningful read that stayed with me long after I finished it. Highly Recommended!

If you love books that allow you to live vicariously through others, you will love this book! I will never be a news reporter, much less one in a war zone, so reading this book allows me to be there with Robert and see through his eyes and ears all that he experiences. His self deprecating humor allows him to bond with the reader. His harrowing experiences would scare me if I didn’t know that he survived to write this book!
He is a superb storyteller. Although the book can be devoured in one or two days as I did , each story is a stand alone vignette making it a great book to pick up and read a few minutes at a time if that timeframe works better for you.
If you are looking for a book with geopolitical discussions this is not the book for you, but if you want to know what it is like to be a young, naive journalist reporting from a zone , you I’ll love it! I would give this book ten stars if I could!
December 11, 2025
This book surprised me in the best way. Lessons from the Front isn’t written like a typical political or historical analysis—it’s simply one young reporter sharing what he saw, felt, and learned while suddenly thrown into two war zones. That perspective makes it raw emotional.
Sherman brings readers along as he navigates fear, confusion, and culture shock, but also moments of kindness, courage, and hope. The personal stories from the people he meets—especially the families trying to escape danger—are the parts that stayed with me the most. His honesty and humility give the book a unique voice.
It’s a powerful read that balances intensity with humanity. I walked away with a deeper understanding of the people living through these conflicts and a real appreciation for the way Sherman chose to tell their stories.
Highly recommended.

Robert Sherman and his debut novel Lessons from the Front is a clever, engaging and intense look at a war that was changed the global landscape forever.
Sherman, unashamed to admit just how daunting his assignment was, allows a peak into a war that is far too misunderstood for the everyday person.
When you buy this book you’ll find yourself captivated by Sherman’s ability to weave storytelling and proper journalistic integrity seamlessly into a journey that personally changes a young man over the years.
It’s an honest reflection of the never-ending consequences and changes that war produces, national correspondents included.
If you feel journalism is on life support, or even dead, you haven’t read this book or watched Robert Sherman live on NewsNation. With Sherman at the helm, journalism is alive and well.

Watching war news from your couch is cool until you live and breathed this reality. The book is about a journey of a 25 years old war correspondent who strips away the cinematic glory of war to reveal its ugly, human core. The book speaks about the reality of war front with short stories which are lived by the author himself on the ground of Ukraine and Israel. The first time you hear the rocket explode, the first time you get the gun pulled on you and you’re accused of being a spy, when survival often comes down to pure dumb luck, things get more serious and life feels more precious. The stories are the reminder that war isn’t a game of chess played by world leaders, it’s a surgery performed on nations without anaesthesia. It’s loud it’s messy it’s scary and it leaves scars that are hard to heal. So if you really want to know what war really feels like go read it now.

I have been following Sherman's correspondent work on NewsNation so I was excited to see that he had published a book. I've always been impressed by people who can work a full-time job and then document that experience creatively in the off hours.
I love the rawness of Sherman's writing, the wide-eyed drop into two war zones, moving from innocence into the evils of war and witnessing the small hopes that band people together in dire circumstances. He also approaches the theme of "returning home" in a way I haven't seen before; sometimes I think ideas are played out, but then a writer comes along and gives the theme a twist, one that, in the case of this book, is rooted in the turbulent times that we live in.

A gripping, heartfelt debut that feels both daring and deeply human.
What makes the story so compelling isn’t just the danger or the dramatic global stakes, but Sherman’s honesty. He never pretends to be fearless or infallible. Instead, he invites you into his head and heart as he navigates a world many people only see through a tv screen.
The writing is refreshingly approachable. It reads like a conversation with a friend who just happens to be living through events the rest of us only see in headlines.
It’s a coming-of-age story forged under rawness of circumstances your average 25 year old would never dream of. If you want a read that’s honest, engaging, and surprisingly relatable, this book absolutely delivers. A standout debut.

This is not your usual war correspondent’s memoir. Even in just the excerpt I’ve read, the author’s youth and refreshing honesty stand out. He writes with a clarity shaped by time in Gaza and Ukraine, but also with a disarming awareness of how recently he left behind a frat house and stepped into some of the world’s darkest places.
The contrast between where he’s come from and where he finds themself now is one of the book's greatest strengths, along with the humility running through it. The author never hides his inexperience or tries to mimic the tone of older reporters. Instead, he acknowledges what it means to grow up fast and carry the weight of conflict long before most people their age have settled into adulthood.

It's been incredible to see where Robert Sherman's career has taken him. "Lessons from the Front" offers a fresh perspective on what it's like to cover topics like war and conflict.
Sherman has a special way of painting sadly beautiful pictures of war-torn communities. Sherman has a gift for getting the reader to see war stories from the perspective of those who are most impacted. The way he tells the stories of locals makes you feel as if you're there with them.
On the lighter side, Sherman's sense of humor allows him to connect with readers. While Robert is the one who had these experiences and learned these lessons from a firsthand account, we also gain insight into what life truly is, and we take his lessons from the front with us.

When I begin reading a book, I anticipate the opportunity of placing myself in the environment of the writing, along side the characters or events that are being set down on paper. When reading Lessons From The Front, I experienced the true sense of being positioned in the company of the author, Robert Sherman, feeling the emotion and sense of action as he encounters the ever changing battle fronts he is reporting from. This is true journalism, being able to place the reading audience right at the very spot of the story, this being war zone front lines, as reported by Sherman. Lessons offers first-hand accounts of troubling battle fronts and the challengers that journalists experience to get the true news to the public. I highly recommend Lessons Frpm The Front.
December 11, 2025
A fantastic work put forth by one of the brightest rising stars in journalism. There are just some journalist whose work stands out from that of their peers and in the case of Robert this is certainly the case. The insights he shares in Lessons from the Front are profound and yet Robert delivers these thoughts in a way that makes it easy for the reader to understand.
What makes Robert a fantastic journalist is also what will make him a success as an author. He is as authentic as they come and that integrity come through in every thing he does.
It is my hope that you give this book a read. I promise that you will be glad that you did.

Sherman’s writing lingers, not because of shock value or deeply complex descriptions of history leading up to war, but because he focuses on the people living through these wars and their shared humanity, their shared fears, their hope of a better future.
Sherman writes with the kind of clarity and emotional intelligence that usually comes much later in life, but thrown into war reporting at such an early age and with a lot of naivety, his perspective is raw in the best way. Nothing is over-polished. His writing gives an insight into the realization that even during war, people are still people, and we’d all be much better off if we realized the same.
A memorable read to say the least

I lived next door to Robert freshman year at DePauw, and he was an exceptional sports reporter even then—talented, relentless, and serious about the craft. Today, that same drive shows up in his raw, honest reporting as he takes on the biggest stories in the world. His account of these world events is gripping, authentic, and unflinchingly honest. It’s powerful firsthand journalism from someone willing to take real risks to tell the truth.
December 11, 2025
Lessons From The Front captures the chaos of modern warfare in a way that feels real and unfiltered. The stories blend honesty, fear, humor, and humanity in a way reporting rarely does. It’s one of those reads that stays with you long after you put it down. Proud to call Robert Sherman a friend, fellow DePauw alumnus, and Sigma Chi brother.
December 11, 2025
A book you won't want to put down! Robert's expert reporting is incredibly thoughtful and unfiltered. His experiences as a young reporter navigating the atrocities of war halfway around the world not only capture his strong reporting abilities but his journey of personal growth during a time of unrest. The details he shares are simply stunning. Excellent work!
December 11, 2025
I flew through this book. The storytelling is effortless, the voice is genuine, and it gives you a way to see the war through a perspective that felt relatable on a level different than that of most war journalism I've experienced. I'm a big fan and look forward to following Robert through his future reporting.
December 11, 2025
Robert has done an amazing job showing both the struggles that dangers that war corespondents go through everyday to report these conflicts, but also details his widening viewpoint of the world, and loss of innocence as he travels through war torn countries. A modern Ernest Hemingway story if I could say so myself.
December 11, 2025
Lessons from the Front is a gripping and very human account of two major conflicts. Robert Sherman brings readers right into the moment with clear, heartfelt writing and genuine compassion for the people he meets. It’s an easy read, but one that leaves a deep impact. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a real look at what war feels like beyond the headlines.
December 11, 2025
Such an enjoyable read. The book records an honest, fair-minded, and humorous person growing in wisdom as he grows in experience. The book is authentically reflective of an "in-process" human with stories to tell. Can't wait to hear more from Robert Sherman in the future!
December 20, 2025
I can’t say I’m unbiased here, yet I was captivated from the start. I’m impressed with the storytelling, humility, and strength portrayed in these pages. Thank you for sharing your stories and growth with the world.
