Présentation de l'éditeur

Bill Hamilton's engrossing autobiography leads us from his humble beginnings as a cub reporter, via regional media, to special correspondent on BBC TV News, a role which takes him to some of the world's worst trouble spots.

His assignments include the war in Lebanon in 1982, AIDS in Africa, and the plight of neglected children in post-communist Albania. Nearer home he assists in the rescue of snowbound train passengers in the arctic Scotland of 1978, and witnesses the aftermath of the IRA bombings in Brighton and inner-city riots in Brixton and Toxteth.

The descriptions of these often tragic and harrowing events are unforgettable. Bill Hamilton has the eye of a true journalist, passionately committed to the truth, yet always humane and sympathetic. Man on the Spot is a testament to an honourable profession.
