My Journey Through War and Peace examines how, through outward action and inward exploration, life can unfold in mysterious ways, far beyond cultural and family expectations. She was just in her twenties when she traveled with the moujahedeen, filmed an attack on a Soviet convoy, slept with an Afghan commander, and climbed 14,000-foot mountains in the Hindu Kush. Her team was one of the first documentary crews allowed in the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, and she was featured in a New York Timesstory about her time in Afghanistan. My Journey Through War and Peace: Explorations of a Young Filmmaker, Feminist and Spiritual Seeker is based on Melissa Burch’s experiences as a war journalist for BBC, CBS, and other networks. “A poignant and informative feminist memoir that spans world landscapes, wars, and spiritual quests.” “Burch’s honest reflections on her work, difficult relationship with her alcoholic mother, sexual encounters, self-doubt, fears, and path to peace and happiness make the book thought-provoking and compelling.” This exciting memoir will resonate with fans of Eat Pray Love, Wild, and other popular memoirs that describe extraordinary inner and outer journeys.“An absorbing, well-written memoir by a brave adventurer who discovered her own life.” She now understands that she was seeking self-discovery, a connection to something greater, and ultimately inner peace. In looking back at this momentous decade, Burch shares why she pursued such dangerous and difficult circumstances at such a young age and continued to live on the edge.
