25 years old and struggling to find his way in his journalism career, the young reporter who had been covering local political stories found himself smack in the middle of the world’s biggest geopolitical crisis — fleeing air raids and being questioned by militants along the way.

One year later when Hamas carried out its October 7th attack, Sherman flew right back into thick of it — running from rockets and diving into Hamas tunnels in Gaza.

While shrouded in the proverbial “Fog of War,” it became clear to Sherman that the world isn’t as simple as he thought it was.

Reviews for Lessons from the Front: A Rookie War Correspondent in Ukraine and Israel

One day he’s covering small-town stories - next he’s staring down a soldier’s rifle in Ukraine. Robert Sherman’s first hand chronicle of two wars is a heart pounding plunge into danger, resilience and the moments that change everything. * Martin Savidge, Anchor/correspondent CNN, NBC, PBS * Robert Sherman’s insights from the Ukrainian and Israeli front lines are stunning – as a war reporter he is the best there is! His gripping ability to tell a story in the most consequential and challenging of circumstances comes to life in these pages, creating a book that readers won’t be able to put down while chronicling world-changing history that will stand the test of time! * John “Dragon” Teichert, USAF Brigadier General (ret) * Lessons from the Front is as gripping as it is raw — the unvarnished story of a former fraternity president turned rookie journalist thrown into the chaos of Ukraine and Israel’s front lines. Robert Sherman captures the humanity of war in a way even seasoned correspondents sometimes miss, mixing the humor of youthful naivety with the weight of witnessing history’s darkest moments. This isn’t just storytelling that informs — it drops you into the scene, makes you feel the fear, hear the sirens, and carry the stories with you long after you’ve stopped reading. * Jason Rantz, author of ""What's Killing America: Inside the Radical Left's Tragic Destruction of Our Cities."" *
