From the Inside Flap

In Buying the Night Flight Georgie Anne Geyer, one of the first American woman to cover wars abroad, tells of her thrilling rise from cub reporter to foreign correspondent as she made her way into the male-dominated world of journalism. Born from thirty years of reporting experience, Geyer transports the reader to Guatemala, Cuba, Egypt, Russia, and Cambodia, recounting the history and politics, adventure and exhaustion of the times with political insight, humor, and passion. Told with brilliance and dead-on honesty, this book vividly captures the triumphs of a determined and talented young reporter.
