John Suchet recounts the extraordinary life of a television news reporter.
From the hills of Afghanistan to the Oscars in Hollywood, from tribal costume to dinner jacket, from sleeping in the finest hotels in the world to sleeping on the street, from interviewing Presidents and Prime Ministers to bishops, police chiefs, doctors, film stars, sportsmen and women, criminals and murderers...
