News from No Man's Land

This third volume of autobiography from John Simpson concentrates on the mechanics of newsgathering and reporting, drawing on John`s vast experience. With incident and anecdote, Simpson gives readers an insight into the way a journalist follows a story, even when the odds are stacked against them, and they are at risk of great personal danger, as for instance, when, disguised as a woman, he crossed the border into Afghanistan following the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre.
