For over a quarter of a hundred years, award-winning journalist Henry Bradsher reported testimonies from across the world. With this lively and engaging bank account, Bradsher recounts shows from a distinguished career that got him to the Himalayas, the jungles of Bhutan, Kremlin caviar receptions, China's Forbidden City, and the battlefields of Vietnam. Throughout, Bradsher stresses the unpredictability of an correspondent's life and the strains, perils, and privileges of standing witness to momentous world happenings. In Moscow he covered the downfall of Nikita Khrushchev, and he later experienced the KGB bombing of his car in response to his tenacious reporting. His incisive coverage from Hong Kong led Chinese language officials to label Bradsher as "the most despicable" journalist. But after a power transfer, they welcomed him as the first American journalist permitted to work in China in more than a year. Bradsher expected and reported Bangladesh's independence have difficulty, and he did the trick in the centre East, covering Egyptian-Israeli peacefulness arrangements. Access to the happenings that shaped the Cold Conflict also resulted in Bradsher's meeting many world market leaders, including Nehru, Khrushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, Zhou Enlai, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Anwar Sadat, and Menachem Start. Although Bradsher's reporting riled officials in Moscow, Beijing, and even america - prompting Henry Kissinger's attempts to thwart the publication of his information - history has proven its correctness. Bradsher's relentlessness in his own work accompanied a profound value for fellow journalists worldwide who endanger themselves to keep carefully the public informed.
