War correspondent on the unforgettable survivors of conflict

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 23 May 2023

Martin Fletcher spent five decades covering war, revolution and natural disasters all over the world, most as the Middle East Correspondent and Tel Aviv Bureau Chief for NBC News. The network sent him to Kosovo, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Rwanda. In the sweeping stories about  famine, apartheid, terrorism and genocide, he says there are the tiny ones about people who may have been defeated, scared and  alone, but never gave up. They are the ones who left a mark on his soul. They are the ones whose stories he tells in his new book, Teachers: The Ones I Can't Forget.
