BBC Correspondent Gardner was shot and left for dead by Al-Qaeda gunmen in 2004. This remarkable story takes us through his twenty-five years of travelling and reporting in the Middle East up to the present day as wheel-chair-bound BBC Security Correspondent. His own experience has not, to his credit, compromised his love and respect for the Islamic world and this dual account of personal survival and Middle-Eastern reality is admirably balanced. An impressive book.
