Summary:
From one of America’s leading reporters comes a deeply personal, extraordinarily powerful go through the most volatile crises he has witnessed all over the world, from New Orleans to Baghdad and beyond.
Dispatches in the Edge from the World is a publication that provides us a rare up-close glance of what happens when the standard order of issues is suddenly turned upside down, whether it’s a natural catastrophe, a civil war, or a heated political fight. Over the last 12 months, few people have observed more moments about Dispatches from the Advantage of chaos and discord than Anderson Cooper, whose groundbreaking insurance coverage on CNN has become the touchstone of twenty-first century journalism. This reserve explores in an exceedingly personal way the most important – & most dangerous – crises of our time, and the astonishing impact they have had on his life.
In the devastating tsunami in South Asia towards the suffering Niger, and ultimately Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Cooper shares his own encounters of traversing the globe, covering the world’s most astonishing stories. Like a television journalist, he gets the present of speaking with an emotional directness that cuts through the barriers from the moderate. In his first book, that interest communicates itself through a wealthy fabric of memoir and reportage, representation and first-person narrative. Unflinching and utterly engrossing, this is the story of a fantastic year within a reporter’s life.
