I'm Martha McCallum, and today I'm joined by Benjamin Hall, who is obviously one of our greatest war correspondents and reporters.

And he has now written his second book about all of the

0:57.8

big changes in his life over the last several years. The first book was called Saved. It was a New York

1:03.0

Times bestseller about what happened during the bombing in Ukraine when he was covering the war for us

there. And this new book is called Resolute,

1:13.0

How We Humans Keep Finding Ways to Beat the Toughest Ods. Welcome, Ben. Thank you.

1:18.6

Great to have you here. You know, I have been going through the book, and I'm looking

1:23.9

Tell us a little bit about what that was like and what his reaction was when he saw you walk in the room. You know, I knew very early that I wanted to go back to Ukraine.

door and he just looked at me and he started crying. And he said he couldn't believe I was still

2:35.8

the evacuation from the country. And we just had this conversation about how, you know, not only

2:41.2

was I better, but I'd gone back walking on my prosthetic legs. And what he wanted to know, one of

2:48.0

the reasons I wrote the book, is to talk about that ability
