Publisher's Synopsis
As a journalist, Peter Arnett reported from Bangkok, Laos, Indonesia and then Vietnam. When American ground forces were committed, he went with them. His despatches incurred the wrath of President Johnson but won him a Pulitzer Prize. After the fall of Saigon, when many of his peers had gone, Arnett stayed behind to get the whole story. After covering wars in Cyprus and Lebanon, he joined CNN in 1981. News was going live, 24 hours a day, and Arnett was going with it - from San Salvador to Moscow to Iraq. In this book, Arnett shares the adventures, the gambles and the glory of more than 35 years' reporting inside the world's war zones.
