Saved: A War Reporter's Story of Survival

Benjamin Hall, a veteran war reporter, found himself in the heart of a war-torn city when Russia launched its devastating attack on Ukraine in February 2022. As a father of three young daughters, Hall had thought he had left the dangers of war behind. However, when the opportunity arose to volunteer and cover the conflict, he couldn't resist the call.

On March 14, 2022, Hall woke up in Kyiv, unaware of the impending danger. Hours later, Russian bombs struck the city, and Hall's life was forever changed. He and his crew were blown up in a Russian strike, leaving Hall gravely injured and trapped in the chaos.

In this powerful memoir, Hall shares his incredible journey of survival. From his ground-level view of the war to his dramatic rescue and arduous recovery, he takes readers on a journey through the darkest moments of his life.

Going inside the events that have permanently transformed him, Hall recalls his time at the front lines of our world's conflicts, exploring how his struggle to step away from war reporting led him back one perilous last time.

Featuring nail-biting accounts from the many people across multiple countries who banded together to get him to safety, Hall offers a stunning look at complex teamwork and heartfelt perseverance that turned his life into a mission.

Through it all, Hall's spirit has remained undaunted, buoyed by that remarkable corps of people from around the world whose collective determination ensured his survival.

Saved is not just a story of survival; it is a tribute to the power of family and friends, of life and healing, and of how to respond when you are tested in ways you never thought possible.

This is a book that will stay with you long after you turn the last page, reminding you of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of standing together in times of crisis.
