War and Peacekeeping: Personal Reflections on Conflict and Lasting Peace (Hardback)

'Martin Bell is the finest foreign correspondent of his generation.'

'When I was a young reporter Martin Bell was the TV journalist we all wanted to turn into one day: brave, ferociously principled, unshowy, beautifully spare and articulate, and always uncompromising in preferring what was true to what was spuriously 'balanced'. These qualities leap off the pages of this powerful and penetrating memoir-come-manifesto. His is a voice of clarity, compassion and towering authority. When I was young I wanted to be just like him. I still do.'

'In my view and without doubt Martin Bell was the finest war reporter of his generation. Martin's personal reflections on not just Bosnia but so many other hotspots of the world flow easily, are hugely perceptive and simply get it. He is a master of emotive depiction and his words bring every situation he describes to life. I have not been able to put this book down since I received it.'

'Bell writes well and he has witnessed many interesting things in his long career... Martin Bell is clearly and transparently a decent and, in some respects, heroic man.'
