Marked for Death

Praise

“Marked for Death by Terry Gould is a book of love and passion. The portraits of slain journalists who reported from the world’s most dangerous places are unquestionably tragic, but this book is uplifting and even inspiring. Through his meticulous reporting and his compassionate storytelling, Gould performs a small miracle, a literary resurrection, allowing journalists so cruelly killed to tell their own stories completely and honestly. In an age when journalism is threatened by economic collapse and deep public cynicism, Gould’s book reminds us that journalism can be beautiful and meaningful and that its power to combat injustice so great that some journalists around the world are willing to give their lives to tell the truth.” —Joel Simon, Executive Director, Committee to Protect Journalists

“In an investigative tour de force, Gould brings a level of detail and realism to his descriptions of people and places that makes the book’s 400 pages melt away . . . [Marked for Death] should be required reading for anyone who prizes democracy, journalist or not. —Concordian, Concordia University’s Independent Student Newspaper (Canada)
