In a memoir of staggering power and candour, award-winning
journalist Fergal Keane addresses his experience of wars of
different kinds, some very public and others acutely personal.
During his years of reporting from the world's most savage and
turbulent regions, Fergal Keane has witnessed the violence of the
South African townships and the terror in Rwanda, the most extreme
kinds of human behaviour, the horror of genocide and the bravery of
peacekeepers faced with overwhelming odds. As one of the BBC's
leading correspondents, he recounts extraordinary encounters on the
front lines. Alongside his often brutal experiences in the field,
he also describes unflinchingly the challenges and demons he has
faced in his personal life growing up in Ireland. Keane's existence
as a war reporter is all that we imagine: frantic filing of reports
and dodging shells, interspersed with rest in bombed-out hotels and
concrete shelters. Life in such vulnerable areas of the globe is
emotionally draining, but full of astonishing moments of
camaraderie and human bravery. And so this is also a memoir of the
human connections, at once simple and complex, that are made in
extreme circumstances. These pages are filled with the memories of
remarkable people. At the heart of Fergal Keane's story is a
descent into and recovery from alcoholism, spanning two
generations, father and son; a different kind of war, but as much
part of the journey of the last twenty-five years as the bullets
and bombs.
