Jacket review

' - with the well-chosen texts becoming the focus for interesting and stimulating student activity. - the video is a must-buy. Maggie O'Kane talking with disarming frankness about the work of a war correspondent makes riveting viewing, and will have value as a teaching resource well beyond KS3.' TES, 2001
