The sole anchorman of ITN's News at Ten describes his rise from Radio Trinidad, via the BBC World Service, to his current position as international journalist and the guiding hand of ITN's flagship, News at Ten. He reviews some of the great news stories he has covered including the South African race riots, Falklands war diplomacy and interviews with such major figures as Saddam Hussein, Colonel Gadaffi and Nelson Mandela. He shows us what we didn't see at the time of these events and reveals his own concerns and triumphs. The hallmarks of his career to date - clarity, perception and an elegant stvle - are clearly evident in this autobiography.
