Strange Places, Questionable People (Paperback, Unabridged edition)

In this first of two autobiographical volumes, BBC World Affairs editor Simpson reflects on his adventurous life as roving reporter and on-the-spot witness of many of the most momentous events of the post-war world: the Tiananmen Square massacre, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the release of Nelson Mandela and many more. But it is also a reflective book in which he questions his own restlessness and occasional recklessness in the pursuit of professional perfection, and his long and sometimes disputatious association with the BBC. (Kirkus UK)

John Simpson's eventful career as a reporter with the BBC has put him on the spot to witness the Tiananmen Square massacre, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of Communism through Eastern Europe and the release of Nelson Mandela. This is the first volume of his autobiography.
