 ____________________\n\nSean Carberry will be talking about his new bo
 ok "Passport Stamps: Searching the World for a War to Call Home" Join 
 us.\n\nABOUT THE BOOK: (www.passport-stamps.com)\nA candid\, darkly co
 mic\, and emotionally naked tale of a former NPR journalist who—driv
 en by grief\, loss\, and the desire to find his “tribe”—seeks so
 lace in the world’s most dangerous places and his pursuit to join th
 e ranks of combat-tested war correspondents. The learning curve of rep
 orting in hostile environments is steep and at times comical\, at othe
 rs nearly fatal. He encounters a lot of dust\, ragged infrastructure\,
  weaponry\, scary driving\, whiskey\, lust\, and way too much food poi
 soning. When the assignment ends\, he is left to confront the mental a
 nd emotional impact of the years of danger\, death\, and destruction.\
