Charles Wheeler, the BBC’s longest-serving foreign correspondent, was one of Britain’s greatest news reporters. For more than four decades, he reported for radio & television from most of the world’s trouble spots. Present at many of the key episodes of the 20th century, he had a knack of being in the right place at the right time. It was typical of Charles that he ran towards the sound of the gunshot while the crowd was running in the opposite direction. Wheeler’s skill & sense of judgement made him one of the most authoritative reporters of his generation. But what was it like to have been witness to the events that shaped our modern world? In this book – part memoir, part history, part reflection – his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, examines her father’s journalistic legacy & brings her personal knowledge to bear on the project.
