A MAD WORLD, MY MASTERS: TALES FROM A TRAVELELR’S LIFE

There are only a handful of places left on this earth where you can’t buy a McDonald’s hamburger or stay in a Holiday Inn – and John Simpson has been to them all. This hugely successful volume of writing is a celebration of some of the world’s wilder places. His extraordinary experiences 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. “Highly entertaining” – “The Times”. “What amazing tales he has to tell, and with what enthralling vividness …Riveting” – “Daily Mail”. “The range of his travels is staggering …Never less than entertaining, sometimes moving and often funny” – “Sunday Telegraph”.
