For over a quarter of a century, award-winning journalist Henry Bradsher reported stories from around the world. In this lively and engaging account, Bradsher recounts episodes from a distinguished career that took him to the Himalayas, the jungles of Bhutan, Kremlin caviar receptions, China’s Forbidden City, and the battlefields of Vietnam. Throughout, Bradsher emphasizes the unpredictability of a correspondent’s life and the strains, perils, and privileges of standing witness to momentous world events.
Henry S. Bradsher was a correspondent for the Associated Press and the Washington Star. He was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for international reporting in 1972 and won the George Polk Award for Foreign Reporting in 1973. He is now retired.
"There is plenty for a student to learn about the world and journalism along the way, especially from [Bradsher’s] fierce commitment to honest reporting, whether authority appreciates it or not.”—Journalism History
