"In 2011 photojournalist Lynsey Addario was kidnapped in Libya. She was covering the fighting between dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s troops and rebel forces when the car she was traveling in (with three other journalists) was ransacked. She was tied up, assaulted and held for a week. Addario’s memoir, It’s What I Do, begins with this chilling scene. In her vivid retelling, you can practically hear the bullets whiz by and taste the dirt as she’s pushed to the ground with a gun held to her head. It’s a story of vulnerability, humanity and courage that will give you an adrenaline rush without your moving a muscle."
