A memoir from Benjamin Hall, the Fox News correspondent wounded by Russian fire in Ukraine, has now topped The New York Times’ Best-Seller List.
It was just over a week ago when Hall published his auto-biography: Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission to Make It Home. His story has been flying off the shelves though, for it has already claimed the Times’ number one spot in their non-fiction category.
We did it! #1 NY Times bestseller. This is for everyone who appears in the book, so many of them heros - we did it together. Thank you! #SAVED pic.twitter.com/NIjCj3xCu5

On March 14, 2022, Hall was covering the invasion of Ukraine when he was hit by Russian shelling outside of Kyiv. Fox News photojournalist Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian producer Oleksandra Kuvshynova were both killed in the attack, while Hall was left with injuries that cost him his leg, a foot, the use of one of his hands, and he was left blinded in one eye.
According to Mediaite, Hall’s survival and evacuation from Ukraine have been a recurring media interest story as reporters followed his recovery and persistence in maintaining a positive outlook. Hall’s story also offers perspective about the dangers journalists face while covering warzones, and he has been open about the horrors he experienced and witnessed for others.
