Summary: With an incisive eye and an Australian perspective, the ABC′s foreign correspondents report from all parts of the globe, including very recent human and natural disaster areas such as: Sri Lanka in the wake of the devastating Boxing Day tsunami; Beslan during the siege (with bullets flying during a live cross); New Orleans in the wake of Cyclone Katrina′s destructive force; London after the terrorist bombings; the violence that continues in Iraq. Also covered are Guantanomo Bay, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Siberia, Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe′s regime and China.
What I thought: Like most short stories it was hit and miss. I really enjoyed some of them and admire what journalists do. I'm too much a a chicken to be a foreign correspondent though. It is amazing to read about different situations in our world while I am safely cocooned in mine...
