For over 12 years, Jane Ferguson has lived in the Middle East, reporting for CNN, Al Jazeera and now PBS from some of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world. Inside the civil war in Yemen; one of the first on the ground in rebel-held Syria; in and out of Somalia and Afghanistan - and a long way from her childhood in Northern Ireland. An award-winning journalist and journalism professor at Princeton, she opens up about what she learned while navigating dangerous assignments alone, the "bizarre chivalry" of the Taliban, why being underestimated is her greatest asset, and how to persuade skeptical strangers to trust in her, and talk.
