Times of Terror: Notebooks of a foreign correspondent

Times of Terror: Notebooks of a Foreign Correspondent is a tell-all account of an astonishing career by one of the most experienced and well-known foreign correspondents. Initially for Reuters and later for the Chicago Tribune Uli Schmetzer reported most of the major global news events over the last 40 years, from Latin America to Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Spiced with behind-the-scene anecdotes and disturbing insights, Schmetzer pulls no punches about how news is manipulated and massaged and how executives kowtow to profits, politics and lobby groups. "Schmetzer's scope and detail deliver deep and practical truths... Times of Terror is wide-awake memoir, that marks world changes in a lifetime's observations and clarifies ours." - Dr Jack Dempsey, Historian, Bentley University, USA
