Even in his eighties, the “adventurer grandpa” continues to bravely journey across the globe. This book is a powerful collection of essays capturing his astonishing true stories, gathered over more than half a century on the frontlines of the world. From an incident he witnessed in the borderlands of Afghanistan and Pakistan that foreshadowed 9/11, to being detained by the military under martial law in Amman after the Six-Day War, to his escape from a temporary police detention center along the Suez Canal. Time and again, even while facing danger, he pushed forward in pursuit of “truths that can only be found on the ground.” This daring work challenges modern readers to reconsider the value of “seeing with one’s own eyes” and to reflect on the very meaning of “true journalism.”
