About This Item
Pan Books, 1998 For over thirty years John Simpson, BBC World Affairs Editor, has travelled the world to report on the most significant events of our times. From being punched in the stomach by Harold Wilson on one of his first days as a reporter, to escaping summary execution in Beirut, flying into Teheran with the returning Ayatollah Khomeini, and narrowly avoiding entrapment by a beautiful Czech secret agent, John Simpson has had an astonishingly eventful career. In 1989 he witnessed the Tiananmen Square massacre, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Communism throughout Eastern Europe and only weeks later, in South Africa, the release of Nelson Mandela. With Simpson's uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time, this autobiography is a ring-side seat at every major event in recent global history. A thick book - 566 pages including the index. Plenty of black-and-white photographs. ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
