America's National Cemeteries

"Spears is very successful in tying together a wide range of complex themes. The book has a strong story line—his quest to visit all the national cemeteries. With this journey serving as his narrative arc, Spears takes time to pause along his route to develop one or more subplots in each of the ten chapters." —Kenneth E. Foote, author of Shadowed Ground: America's Landscapes of Violence and Tragedy

Der Korrespondent

Heftige Naturkatastrophen, schreiende Ungerechtigkeiten, putschende Generäle, das eigentlich doch schöne Südostasien ist für den Korrespondenten voller Herausforderungen. Wie nah kann der aus Deutschland für einige Jahre entsandte Journalist diesem Asien kommen, wann endet die professionell distanzierte Betrachtung des Geschehens, wann beginnt die Anteilnahme? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich Udo Schmidt in diesem Buch. Er erzählt vom Ankommen am Studio-Standort Singapur, von Reisen in philippinische Katastrophengebiete, die an die Grenze des Erträglichen gehen und von wunderbaren Menschen, die jeden Tag und damit jede Reportage bereichern. Wann ist der Korrespondent Berichterstatter, wann ist er einfach nur Mensch, diese Grundfrage zieht sich durch die Alltagsbeschreibungen. Sie findet sich auch in den vielen Reportagen aus Thailand, Kambodscha, Myanmar oder Indonesien.

On The Ho Chi Minh Trail – The Blood Road, The Women Who Defended It, The Legacy

"Never in my life have I finished a book in just a few days as I did On the Ho Chi Minh Trail. More than four decades after the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, Sherry Buchanan journeyed down the trail to meet actors and participants from all sides of the war, especially the women who built and defended it. By following in the footsteps of these young women, she has given them a voice and a face not too many people know about. She also brings to the fore the strategic role they played in the conflict."
