With Simpson's uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time, his autobiographies are a ring-side seat at every major event in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. From being punched in the stomach by Harold Wilson on one of his first days as a reporter, to escaping summary execution in Beirut, flying into the Teheran with the returning Ayatollah Khomeini, John Simpson has had an astonishingly eventful career. In 1989, he witnessed the Tiananmen Square massacre, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Communism throughout Eastern Europe and only weeks later, in South Africa, the release of Nelson Mandela. On 13 November 2001, he and a BBC news crew walked into Kabul and the liberation of the Afghan capital was broadcast to a waiting world. His extraordinary experiences also include stories about a television camera that killed people, about how Colonel Gadhaffi farted his way through an interview and how he - Simpson - mooned the Queen.
