As an award~winning CBS News reporter, Dozier had devoted her career to being in the right place at the right time to capture the story. Suddenly, in the wrong place at the worst time, she became the story, as a deadly explosion tore through her team and word spread worldwide. That Memorial Day in 2006, a routine mission ended with Dozier in a pool of blood on a Baghdad street, a victim of a car bomb that killed cameraman Paul Douglas and soundman James Brolan as well as Captain James Alex Funkhouser and his translator. Critically injured, Dozier woke to find herself fighting first for survival, then for recovery, and finally to return to her career. Breathing the Fire tracks one woman's relentless determination to get the story, to get it right, and to get well again after everything went wrong. In vivid and unapologetic detail, she recounts the moments from bomb to rescue to the waves of pain that spread from that Baghdad blast to homes and families around the world, now linked by an event horribly commonplace for U.S. troops and Iraqis alike. Covering events in the Middle East as a foreign correspondent for CBS News, Kimberly Dozier earned a reputation for being on top of the news, from disputed territories of Israel to the war in Afghanistan and the hunt for Osama bin Laden. She reported on the war in Iraq from 2003 until she was injured by a car bomb in 2006. Previously she was London bureau chief and chief European correspondent for CBS Radio News as well as a television reporter for CBS News. She covered world events ranging from the crisis in the Balkans to the death of Princess Diana. In the 1990s Dozier was an anchor for BBC Radio World Service's ''World Update" and, while living in Cairo, did freelance reporting for The Washington Post, The San Francisco Chronicle, and other news media. She has received four prestigious Gracie Awards from American Women in Radio and Television including the Grand Gracie Award in 2007 for her body of work in Iraq. A seasoned traveler since childhood, Dozier has a home in Jerusalem and is eager to return to reporting the news in the Middle East.
