    Wounds: A Memoir of War and Love

    September 3, 2022
    Ah, jeez. This is a tough one to review. Don't get me wrong: this is a brilliant book. This is an insanely brilliant book. But I think it's a very different book if you're Irish, and a different book again if you're Northern Irish. Still excellent!

    The BBC's Africa editor has thanked well-wishers for their 'compassion' as he steps down from his role due to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after decades of reporting from conflict zones around the world.

    Fergal Keane is pictured in 2003 reporting on the Iraq war for the BBC on the northern Iraqi border

    Keane (pictured) originally joined the BBC in 1989 as a Northern Ireland correspondent and also reported from South Africa and Asia before being moved to his current role

    Keane thanked well-wishers on Twitter, saying the 'compassion is so heartening', adding he is not leaving the BBC but 'focusing on recovery' and 'different work'

    In a tweet, Keane wrote: 'To all who have sent messages re #ptsd thank you so so much. The compassion is so heartening.
