A first-person account of a rookie reporter from the U.S. covering the wars in Israel and Ukraine and realising that the world isn’t as simple as he thought it was.

Lessons from the Front by Robert Sherman captures the gripping tale of a 25-year-old journalist struggling to find his footing in his journalism career. This young reporter, initially covering local political stories, finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the centre of the world’s biggest geopolitical crisis. Fleeing air raids and facing interrogation by militants, his journey is fraught with danger.

A year later, when Hamas launched its October 7th attack, Sherman returned to the heart of the conflict. He faced the intense reality of running from rockets and exploring Hamas tunnels in Gaza. Amidst the proverbial "Fog of War," Sherman’s experiences challenged his perceptions, revealing that the world is far more complex than he had imagined.
