Resumen de Under the gun

Jared Malsin

• Malsin narrates how last summer's Gaza war pushed the journalists who covered it to their mental and physical limits. To readers and viewers outside the country the most recent war in Gaza might have appeared to be just another round of the seemingly endless Israeli-Palestinian bloodletting. But the violence on the ground was anything but typical. Israel's offensive in Gaza last summer was longer and deadlier than any previous single operation. Reporters described a physical exhaustion combined with the emotional drain that comes with daily exposure to horror and the feeling of never being able to find respite. Among these reporters are Taylor Hicks, Sherine Tadros and Noam Sheizaf.
