The third volume of autobiography from legendary foreign correspondent, John Simpson. Read by the author.

13 November 2001. John Simpson and a BBC news crew walked into Kabul and the liberation of the Afghan capital was broadcast to a waiting world. It was the end of a sustained campaign against the Taliban, a campaign that Simpson had covered from the beginning, despite appalling difficulties and, often, great danger.

In News from No Mans Land, his third memoir of a life spent reporting around the world, he focuses on how journalists set about finding the stories that make the headlines. Like his previous books, it is rich in anecdote and filled with extraordinary encounters with remarkable individuals.

It is quintessential Simpson: vivid, utterly absorbing and read with all the care and lucidity of his reporting style.

'Great stories told with great gusto . . . an easy and rewarding read' – Jon Snow, Daily Mail

'A brilliant raconteur' – The Spectator


The fascinating stories continue in John Simpson's fourth volume of autobiography, Not Quite World's End.

Critic Reviews

Great stories told with great gusto . . . an easy and rewarding read (Jon Snow, Daily Mail)
A brilliant raconteur . . . He is also an astute observer of the international media scene
Lucid and compelling
A very fine journalist (Nelson Mandela)
At one point, Simpson lists 'the most extraordinary journalists of the century . . . George Orwell, Richard Dimbleby, Ed Murrow, Martha Gellhorn, Bill Deedes'. Who but the most resentful can seriously doubt that he, too, belongs on that list?
