And Thank You for Watching

"For thirty years Mark Austin covered the biggest stories in the world for one of the great British TV news organisations, ITN. The stories themselves will be familiar to many people, but less well known are the often extraordinary behind the scenes tales of a newsman's life on the road; the problems encountered in some of the most dangerous places on earth; the days when things go badly wrong; the moments of high drama and raw emotion and, quite often, the hilarious happenings the viewer never imagines and only seldom sees. Describing his time reporting on some of the most significant events of recent years, he reveals the impact that dreadful scenes of human suffering and, usually senseless, bloodletting have had on him and his news teams."--Provided by publisher.
