“I’ve spoken to some people who have had near-death experiences and they often see their family,” Hall told The Associated Press. “I think when you take everything else away, what is the main thing that means the most to us, the place we want to be? It’s back home with your family.
Even after escaping and being taken to a Kyiv hospital, Hall’s survival was by no means assured. He was gravely injured. He lost his right leg below the knee, much of his left foot, the sight in his left eye, his left thumb was blown off, his skull was dented and he was burned over much of his body.Article content
Hall’s book captures this great escape, much of it reconstructed through his later reporting. He noted how his father, rescued in war-torn Manila in 1945 and who died at age 89 less than a month before Ben’s deployment to Ukraine, both had their lives saved by the U.S. military. “It takes a long time to adjust and say goodbye to some things you did and say hello to new ones,” Woodruff said.
In his book, Hall recounts a conversation he had with a former soldier about coming to terms with the pain that he’s going to face every day.
