Description: "Reporter for the New York Times; ... foreign correspondent in some of the most dangerous fields; Pulitzer winner; [and] longest jailed correspondent for protecting her sources, Judith Miller ... turns her reporting skills on herself with the intensity of her professional vocation"--Amazon.com.

As a foreign and investigative reporter, Miller is highly respected and controversial. In this memoir she turns her reporting skills on herself, writing about the mistakes she and others made on the existence in Iraq of weapons of mass destruction; addressing the motives of some of her sources; describing going to jail to protect her sources in the Scooter Libby investigation of the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame and how the Times subsequently abandoned her. Miller's career is an adventure story, told with bluntness and wryness.
