About this title

Review:

"[This book] is unquestionably the most complete and insightful study of the craft (and sometimes the art) of the American foreign correspondent. Just as importantly, it is a superb analysis of the complex 'persona' of the American foreign correspondent. Because of the obvious influence on policy decision-making played by American reporters through their dispatches, it is vital to understand the 'profession' of a foreign correspondent and to understand his or her personal make-up and background; this is accomplished by Pollock in a unique fashion. [This book], in my judgment, should be read carefully not only be editors, publishers, teachers of journalism and journalists themselves, but also by U.S. diplomats and policy-makers."-Tad Szulc, former foreign correspondent, The New York Times
