Topics, Sessions And Talks
Bob Woodruff began his journalism career as an international correspondent based in the Far East. This perspective on world and U.S. Headlines has informed his reporting ever since: he was a leading voice overseas after the 9-11 attacks and understands the challenges faced throughout the Middle East. Additionally, his take on Iraq is informed not only by his experiences as a journalist and the troubles they face, the difficulty of getting stories and locating the truth amidst the chaos, but also by his having been the victim of terrorist violence while on assignment. Woodruff brings this highly nuanced international perspective to today’s world headlines, giving audiences a viewpoint on issues that may not be readily available to them, including a look at how the Biden Administration and Congress are viewed abroad and what it all means at home.
Normally one reporting the stories from the Middle East, Bob Woodruff suddenly and violently became the story: in January of 2006, while reporting on U.S. And Iraqi security forces, Woodruff was seriously injured by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle near Taji, Iraq. The long and arduous journey back included numerous surgeries and months of rehabilitation. In this presentation, based on his best-selling memoir In An Instant, Woodruff recounts the events preceding and following this awful event, how it completely altered his perspective on career and family, how he coped and overcame these circumstances, and what audiences can learn to recover from shattering events in their own lives.
Join Bob Woodruff as he shares his journey from being a celebrated journalist covering critical global events to overcoming a life-altering injury sustained in Iraq. Discover how his experiences have shaped his views on resilience, family strength, and the importance of supporting wounded servicemen, alongside his insights on current global and U.S. Affairs.
