IN HARM'S WAY

In covering the war in Bosnia, BBC-TV correspondent Martin Bell drew upon his experience in 80 countries and 11 wars. But this horrific civil war required fresh thinking and approaches--what Bell calls "survival journalism." Bell's reading is powerful and immediate, a familiar voice ordinarily confined to a five-minute news byte. From an articulate, intelligent and deeply concerned person, we hear, first-hand, the stories behind the stories--glimpses of extraordinary courage, and dangers and despair. Bell's wry humor and critical self-reflections reveal the terrible, relentless destruction still ongoing. J.H.L. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 97]
