Stimulating insights into war and war correspondents in places as diverse as Vietnam, Rhodesia and the Falklands. The first man into Port Stanley, Hastings himself is the star of this book - independently-minded, patrician, ruthlessly ambitious, self-critical, candid - at once both sympathetic and objectionable. Quotes with gusto devastating remarks made at his expense.
