We chose to speak of war and strife: the world of the foreign correspondent
Simpson, John
We chose to speak of war and strife: the world of the foreign correspondent - London Bloomsbury 2016 - xvii, 366 pages; 24 cm.
"In corners of the globe where fault-lines erupt into bloodshed and civil war, foreign correspondents have, for hundreds of years, been engaged in uncovering the latest news and--despite obstacles bureaucratic, political, and violent--reporting it by whatever means available. It's a working life that is difficult, exciting, and undeniably glamorous. These stories celebrate an endangered tradition. Where once despatches were trusted to the hands of a willing sea-captain, telegraph operator, or stranger in an airport queue prepared to spirit a can of undeveloped film back to London, today the digital realm has transformed the relaying of the news."
