Anthony Loyd writes war reportage and memoir from conflicts including Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Syria. My War Gone By, I Miss It So combines frontline reporting with an account of heroin addiction and family history, making the attraction of war itself part of the subject rather than presenting the correspondent as a detached observer. Another Bloody Love Letter continues through assignments in Afghanistan, Iraq and other conflict zones while examining the emotional habits created by repeated exposure to violence. Loyd's prose is vivid, unsentimental and intensely first-person, with battlefield detail balanced by self-criticism and awareness of the reporter's own motives. His work fits war memoir, conflict journalism and addiction writing, particularly for readers interested in the psychology of correspondents as well as the wars they cover. Read more Less
