by Anderson Cooper
**** [4/5]
I really enjoyed this book much more than I expected to. Be warned that this is a very graphic description of many of the events that the author witnessed in many ugly situations.
If you are interested in foreign affairs this is a wonderful read. The many events that Cooper has covered are written about in lively color and tell a much fuller story than the sound bites that are actually aired by the media. Although like most people I understand the media needs to keep coverage of some events limited for viewers, I really liked this viewpoint. He also weaves in descriptions of how his personal life influenced his journalism which makes the story richer. I think this helps the reader understand how some people can survive the life of journalism of this type.
Great read.
