Though the week is just starting, many of us already are looking forward to the upcoming long weekend in honor of Memorial Day, a tribute to those who have died in military service.
There will be parades, barbecues, and lives to remember, and this year, there will also be a powerful new book to read: CBS News correspondent Kimberly Dozier’s “Breathing the Fire,” an account of surviving a car bomb while on assignment in Iraq — on Memorial Day weekend two years ago. The book also tells of the recovery process for wounded servicemen, as well as what it is like to report from a war zone.
The book was brought to my attention by Ann and Andrew Tisch, who recently held a party for Ms. Dozier at the Regency with many of Ms. Dozier’s colleagues — including the chief executive of CBS Corp., Les Moonves.
