Publisher's Synopsis
"What amazing tales he has to tell, and with what entralling vividness." - DAILY MAIL "Highly entertaining." - AMAZON John Simpson, the BBC's World Affairs Editor, writes about some of the world's wilder places and the unusual characters that inhabit them. He tells of dodging guerrillas at a cocaine market in Colombia, narrowly escaping a murderous Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and filming undercover in Lebanon with a mad French cameraman. Simpson's travels uncover small heroes and big villains, spies and secret police everywhere, resourceful fixers and even the occasional icon. He delivers some hilarious moments. Discover how it feels to moon the Queen, ask an ex-head of state if he is a cannibal, and realize that a worldwide scoop may have been ruined by a flatulent Colonel Gadhafi.
