Description
Chasing Gadaffi round the Sahara Desert, chance meetings with the Pope and Castro, a kick in the head from a Ukrainian pole dancer - these are just a few of the stories that make up Kieran Cooke's remarkable career as a foreign correspondent.
Over 40 years of reporting from around the world have given Cooke a unique perspective on the highs and lows of his job. From producing yellowing old articles as a student to blagging his way into working for a local radio station, his haphazard career is full of twists and turns. This book collects many of these tales, offering a humorous and often bizarre look at life in journalism.
While the job can be dark and unpredictable, Cooke's stories show that even in difficult circumstances, there is often room for humour. With this collection of anecdotes, readers will gain a fascinating insight into the world of foreign reporting and the people who inhabit it.
