Description
25 years old and struggling to find his way in his journalism career, Robert Sherman's whole world was turned upside down the day Russia invaded Ukraine. The young reporter who had been covering local political stories found himself smack in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical crisis - fleeing air raids and being questioned by militants along the way.
One year later when Hamas carried out its October 7th attack, Sherman flew right back into thick of it - running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza. While shrouded in the proverbial “Fog of War,” it became clear to Sherman that the world isn't as simple as he thought it was.
