In a career spanning over 30 years he covered every major event in Africa and beyond, braving torture, surviving bombs and bullets to emerge as the most decorated news cameraman of all time. Amin died in November 1996 when his flight Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 was hijacked and crashed into the ocean near Grande Comore, killing 123 passengers and crew. Mo died on his feet still negotiating with the terrorists. PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.916 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDIONAL SHIPPING COST. A1A. First. Hard Cover.
