In Extremis. It's a fairly extensive biography of war correspondent Marie Colvin done by her friend Lindsey Hilsum. It covers everything from her early life on Long Island through her time in journalism and reporting on wars until her untimely death in Syria in 2012.
Once more: favorite book at the moment?

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
