A Mad World, My Masters by John Simpson |
This leading BBC news correspondent recounts some of his dramatic experiences in a life of reporting from many of the world's most sinister and dangerous places. Anecdotes galore, both comic and otherwise, concerning some gruesome dictators as well as unsung heroes. Situations include: Afghanistan and meeting bin Laden when the Taliban were taking over, Colombia with its drug business and Belgrade under the Nato bombs. Good reading with some stimulating objections to the conventional view.
