About This Item
London: Pan Macmillan, 1999. Good. For over thirty years, John Simpson has travelled the world to report on th e most significant events of our time. 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 Khome ini, and narrowly avoiding entrapment by a beautiful Czech secret agent, Si mpson has had an astonishingly eventful career. In 1989 he witnessed the Ti ananmen Square massacre, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Co mmunism throughout Eastern Europe and, only weeks later, in South Africa, t he 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 ev ery major event in recent global history. 'So vivid I could feel my heart b eating' Jonathan Mirsky, Spectator 'great stories, sometimes harrowing, som etimes hilarious'. - "Daily Telegraph
