'That life is an extraordinary one ... McDonald has grilled some of
modern history's most revered and reviled figures, from Nelson
Mandela to Saddam Hussein. In his memoir he offers a fascinating
behind-the-scenes look at these moments and reflects on his own
remarkable journey' RADIO TIMES 'The broadcasting legend's
autobiography is written in his trademark charming and enigmatic
style' PRIMA 'As well as the deeply personal Windrush scandal [he]
offers an insight into the history that has shaped our world and
his' MY WEEKLY Sir Trevor McDonald is an extraordinary man - and he
has led an improbable life. Now in his 80th year, he is known and
loved by people the world over for his humility, charm and natural
ease. As a natural storyteller and communicator, he has few equals.
In An Improbable Life, Sir Trevor recounts his personal experience
of world events and interviews with globally famous - or notorious
- figures. He has witnessed war and death and risked his own life
to meet and talk with despots and liberators. We read about his
first trip to South Africa, and obtaining the first British
television interview with Nelson Mandela; his reflections on the
Windrush generation; and experiencing Barack Obama's momentous
inauguration as President of the USA. We are also present at his
dramatic meetings with Saddam Hussein (the first and only one by a
British television correspondent) and Muammar Gaddafi. Engaging,
intimate and moving, this is the life story of an exceptional
journalist and broadcaster who over decades has expertly revealed
to us history in the making.
