Rezensionen
'Here it all is, a vast Marie Colvin box set, poignant beyond words' Guardian

Tributes to Marie Colvin:

John Witherow, Sunday Times editor: 'She was somebody who was fun, full of life with joie de vivre and friends all over the world. During her time she saved many lives by highlighting the plight of victims of violence. Everywhere she had gone she tried to help people because she believed she was a witness to the violence that was going on and that she could make a difference'

Peter Bouckaert, Human Rights Watch: 'For Marie, covering war wasn't about doing a few quick interviews and writing up a quick story: she experienced war alongside those who suffered in war, and her writings had a particular vividness because of what she had dared to see and experience'

Lyse Doucet, BBC: 'The world will miss her because she was the eyes and ears of so many. Marie always admired the pioneering journalism of fellow American Martha Gelhorn. I always saw her as the Martha of our generation: brave and beautiful'

Max Hastings, author of All Hell Let Loose: 'All her life, all over the world, she was drawn to record the experiences of civilian victims, who found themselves living and dying in a universe from which compassion and justice had been banished...Colvin was killed doing her best thing, in full knowledge of its perils...This collection of words is her most appropriate memorial because it so vividly explains why her peers admired her so much'
