Description

James Brabazon's memoir of his time as a war reporter in Africa is a gripping account of survival and adventure. In 2002, he joined forces with a South African mercenary to cover the Liberian Civil War, facing numerous deadly ambushes and a perilous escape through dense jungle. The pair soon found themselves at the centre of an audacious coup attempt in Equatorial Guinea, where they were promised a front seat to the action. Brabazon's story is one of high-stakes journalism, danger, and camaraderie with a man with a dark past. This book offers a unique insight into the world of war reporting and the people who inhabit it, making for a compelling read for anyone interested in true stories of adventure and survival.
