More About This Adventurous Spiritual Memoir:
Escaping an alcoholic mother (who had been Sylvia Plath’s college roommate), Melissa Burch traveled to Afghanistan to film the war for CBS and BBC during the Soviet occupation in 1982, when she was just 21. She discovered that by facing her near death, living outside of others’ expectations and trusting her intuition, she could find herself and set a new course for her life.
About the Author:
Melissa Burch is an author, filmmaker, producer and former war journalist for the BBC, CBS, and other networks, as well as a spiritual practitioner. Her team was one of the first documentary crews in the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. A story about her in Afghanistan was featured in The New York Times.
"Burch's memoir recounts her remarkable experiences over eight years as a photographer covering the war in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan in the 1980s and as a filmmaker, and also her own personal and spiritual journey as a young woman…. Her accounts provide revealing glimpses into the conflict, Afghan culture, and the dangers of war reporting, particularly for a woman.”
~ Publishers Weekly
"At twenty-two, Melissa Burch headed to Afghanistan with a camera… determined to film a war for CBS and to find herself. MY JOURNEY THROUGH WAR AND PEACE is the dizzying and dazzling account of that journey.”
