Reflections from a Career on the Front Lines with Sean Carberry

Story in the Public Square

The last 25 years have produced plenty of conflict and a seasoned community of journalists who have moved towards the sound of fighting. Sean Carberry documents the personal costs of those reporters, producers, photographers, and videographers who, in documenting the worst of humanity, have paid a price with their physical and emotional health.

Carberry spent years as a journalist reporting from some of the world’s most dangerous and mysterious locations, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Yemen. He then worked for the government producing oversight reports on military operations in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. He aims to keep his work non-partisan and non-political as he breaks down complicated foreign policy challenges. He recently reported for National Public Radio where he served as correspondent in Kabul, Afghanistan and currently serves as managing editor at National Defense. Carberry is also the author of a powerful new memoir, “Passport Stamps, Searching the World for a War to Call Home.”
