What does it take to report from conflict zones? What good is neutrality in the face of suffering, and how much difference can one person make? From her first journalistic assignment in Gaza to covering the Arab Spring in Egypt, Sherine Tadros searched for ways to change people’s lives for the better.

It wasn’t until her life fell apart that she found the courage to pursue her true purpose. With compassion and verve, Tadros now shares her remarkable journey, from witnessing injustice to fighting it in the corridors of power. In probing the line between journalism and activism, her memoir Taking Sides demonstrates why stories matter ― and how we can all use our voices to inspire meaningful change.
