Martha Raddatz needs little introduction. Not only does she work tirelessly behind the lens, but she is also most likely to appear regularly on your television screen. (Though I will say, she is hardly looking to be a recognized “star”—one gets the sense that she is in front of the camera more for necessity than anything else.) Throughout my life, I have watched her career and held an enormous amount of admiration for her. If I were a journalist, I would want to be Martha Raddatz. She is the definition of BADASS. As chief global affairs correspondent for ABC News, she has traveled to the most dangerous places in the world. She has moderated presidential debates. She has revealed groundbreaking stories. (Does this ring a bell? On the fifth anniversary of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Raddatz posed a question to Vice President Dick Cheney about public opinion polls showing that two-thirds of Americans had lost confidence in the war, a question to which Cheney responded by saying “So?”) She has seen war up close and personal.

Little did I know, war would be the element that would bring us together. The Long Road Home is Martha’s devastating account of “Black Sunday,” a battle during one of the deadliest periods of the Iraq War. In her book, she gives a vivid and agonizing description of the experiences soldiers endure away at war and their families’ difficult reality at home. It is Martha’s dedication, perseverance and intense personal reporting that revealed critical details of the 2004 ambush. She also brings a deep and piercing humanity to war that is not only heartbreaking but unique. It is this book that was identified by Courteney Monroe at National Geographic to be made into a limited series (where I was cast as Gina Denomy, wife of Captain Troy Denomy). We are so proud of the result, in which we sought to honor our troops and their sacrifice for our country. From knowing Martha as well as I do, I say this with my hand on my heart: In a time when we continually question the merit of the news—Is it real? Is it fake?—Martha Raddatz only seeks the truth. And nothing but the truth.
