Confessions from Correspondentland

The inside story of a treasured profession, in the footsteps of Confessions of a GP and Kitchen ConfidentialSince making his journalistic debut breaking into Piers Morgans office, BBC foreign correspondent Nick Bryant has rattled Donald Rumsfeld, had tea with President Karzai, and lunched with the Tamil Tigers. Now casting a sideways glance at his own profession, Bryant divulges the day-to-day realities of life in Correspondentland its glamour, its quirks, and its sometimes unsavoury practices. Whether in Washington DC, offering a window onto American politics as no insider can, reporting from a slum in India, or revealing why the BBC delayed the news of Princess Dianas death, Bryants perspective is inimitable and always insightful. Part memoir, part travelogue, part expos, this is an unmissable and unique view into the world of modern reporting, and an intimate portrait of the countries Bryant has come to know.
