Customer Reviews

Insightful

I found this book an incredible tale of the amazing situations John Simpson found ( and got ) himself in. He seems to be a tangible political history of the last 40 years. He has a full and substancial knowledge on the big players in most of the worlds war-torn areas and explains them in laymanns terms for his readers. Not only all that, it is an easy and enjoyable read.

An engaging and interesting read

An engaging and interesting account of a man at the top of international journalism.To read his account of world events is very educative and he provides an insiders view of some of the key moments of the century.It also interesting learning about the BBC, which seems to be a superb organization.
