"Resolute": Benjamin Hall’s Journey of Resilience and Recovery

CBS News' Seth Doane and FNC's Benjamin Hall

On March 14, 2022, Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall found himself thrust into the heart of a life-altering tragedy while covering the war in Ukraine. Alongside his crew, Hall was traveling near the front lines when their vehicle was suddenly struck by Russian missiles.

The attack was devastating—Hall emerged as the sole survivor, gravely injured and facing a future forever changed. In his bestselling memoir, Saved, he chronicled the harrowing ordeal of the assault and the extraordinary efforts by those who risked their lives to rescue him from the chaos of the war zone.

Now, in his latest work, Resolute: How We Humans Keep Finding Ways to Beat the Toughest Odds, Hall turns his focus inward, offering an intimate and inspiring account of his arduous journey toward recovery. The book delves into the physical and emotional battles he waged in the aftermath of the attack—losing part of his leg, undergoing countless surgeries, and grappling with the psychological scars left by the trauma. Yet, it’s not just a story of survival; it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, exploring how people across time and circumstance have confronted overwhelming challenges and found ways to persevere.

In a candid conversation on Sunday Morning with CBS News correspondent Seth Doane, Hall reflects on the profound significance of conflict reporting—a calling that places journalists like him in harm’s way to bear witness to history and amplify the voices of those caught in its crosshairs. He also opens up about the weight of the tragedy he carries: the loss of his colleagues in that fateful attack, a burden that fuels both his grief and his determination to honor their memory. 

Through Resolute, Hall not only shares his own story but also celebrates the universal capacity for hope and renewal, even in the face of the darkest odds.
