Although he had reported from some of the most dangerous places on earth, none were more dangerous than Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone.

One of his colleagues was killed instantly, and Stewart, shot in the head, was left paralyzed and clinging to life. Airlifted to London, he has since made a remarkable recovery.Freetown Ambush is the unforgettable, moving and at times terrifying story of a war correspondent who became a casualty of the war he covered, but who survived - against all odds - to tell the story.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good to Good/Very Good to Good.
