"I am a traveler by profession, and commute to work; but my job tends to be carried out in outlandish and difficult placesAfghanistan, the Middle East, the darker parts of Africa, and Latin America.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
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
