Strange Places, Questionable People by John Simpson |
Did this come out before or after It's a Mad World, My Masters (bwl 12)?* More of the same - fascinating on-the-spot accounts of world events written by a man who cares deeply about the people and places he finds himself involved with: Tiananmen Square, Sarajevo, Gaddafi in his tent and more. Quiet digs at BBC power struggles make one realise how precarious - and precious - the independent-minded reporter can be; and how grateful we should be to them.
*It came out in 1998, It's a Mad World, My Masters was published in 2001 - Editor's note
