In January 1990, Alec Russell had the offer of a free flight to Bucharest. The plane stopped 700 miles short but he made it eventually and soon afterwards found himself covering the Romanion Revolution for the "Daily Telegraph". During the next three years, the author saw the Gulf War from Turkey, the Kurdish uprisings, the coup in the Soviet Union from St Petersburg and the endless upheavals in the Balkans. His reports from the city of Dubrovnik won him a 1991 UK Press Award.

hardcover, 5½" x 8¾", with dust jacket. 302 pages Alec Russell portrays the nail-biting life of a front-line overseas correspondent in a region that was waking up from the deep-freeze of communism and in which old historical grievances were returning with a vengance. He vividly describes the the circus of characters whom he encounters and, when we are witnessing first-hand the infamous rampage through Bucharest of club-wielding miners or interviewing drunken priests and unrepentant politicians, Russel bears witness to the words of his interpreter, Silviu: "This is the Balkans and strange things happen here" VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket.
