News From No Man's Land: Reporting The World
- ISBN: 0330487353
- Description:
The third bestselling volume of memoirs from John Simpson On 13 November 2001, John Simpson and a BBC news crew walked into Kabul and the liberation of the Afghan capital was broadcast to a waiting world. It was the end of a sustained campaign against the Taliban, a campaign that Simpson had covered from the beginning, despite appalling difficulties and, often, great danger. In this, his third riveting volume of autobiography, John Simpson focuses on how journalists set about finding the stories that make the headlines. It is quintessential Simpson: vivid, utterly absorbing and written with all the care and lucidity of his reporting style. From the Back Cover PRAISE FOR JOHN SIMPSON 'What amazing tales he has to tell and with what enthralling vividness' Daily Mail 'The range of his travels is staggering...Never less than entertaining, sometimes moving and often funny' Sunday Telegraph 'Great stories, sometimes harrowing, sometimes hilarious' Daily Telegraph --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
