The Book that Marie Colvin was Reading in Homs

Newsday

Available for over a year

More than 3 years ago Marie Colvin, the Sunday Times war correspondent, was killed while covering the Syrian war in Homs. After her remains were repatriated it turned out that she was carrying a 387-page manuscript in her bag. It was of a book called Gospel Prism by Gerald Weaver, who was a close friend of hers for over 40 years. He credits Marie with making the book happen. Gerald Weaver has been speaking to Nuala Mcgovern. (Picture credit: Joe Henson / London Wall)
