Hall chronicled his journey in "Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission to Make it Home," which was published in March and became a New York Times bestseller. Earlier this year, Hall read an emotional excerpt on "FOX & Friends," describing how "everything went dark" as bombs went off around him.

"If I had the slightest iota of consciousness, it was a distant sense of shock waves and the feeling that every part of my body – bones, organs, sinew, my soul – had been knocked out of me," Hall read. "I was all but dead but improbably, out of this crippling nothingness, a figure came through, and I heard a familiar voice, as real as anything I’d ever known. ‘Daddy, you’ve got to get out of the car.’"
A documentary based on Hall’s harrowing journey aired on Fox News Channel after the release of the book and detailed his extraction from Ukraine and the arduous recovery that ensued. Hall has said his wife, Alicia, and three daughters gave him the strength to keep going.
