520			_a"From risking imprisonment in order to secretly interview Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, to battling the Solomon Islands' Weather Coast to track down the notorious warlord Harold Keke, New Zealand journalist Mike McRoberts has made a habit of telling difficult and challenging stories... In the story behind the stories, Mike gives the reader a backstage pass to some of the biggest news events of the past decade, and candidly reveals the sometimes frightening, often fraught, ways those stories have made it to air."--Front flap.
