Synopsis

'Highly entertaining' – The Times

The second volume of autobiography from legendary foreign correspondent, John Simpson.

There are only a handful of places left on this earth where you can't buy a McDonald's hamburger or stay in a Holiday Inn – and John Simpson has been to them all.

Honest, entertaining, and at times hilarious, A Mad World, My Masters is a celebration of some of the world's wilder places. Packed full of extraordinary experiences, it includes stories about a television camera that killed people, about how Colonel Gaddafi farted his way through an interview and how he – Simpson – mooned the Queen.

This vivid memoir will transport you around the world and take you behind the scenes of life as a journalist on the frontlines.

'What amazing tales he has to tell, and with what enthralling vividness . . . Riveting' – Daily Mail

'The range of his travels is staggering . . . Never less than entertaining, sometimes moving and often funny' – The Sunday Telegraph

The fascinating stories continue in John Simpson's third volume of autobiography, News from No Man's Land.
