Description
From a TV journalist on the Pacific frontline comes this candid, intensely engaging memoir. Barbara Dreaver has covered the Pacific for over 30 years. During this time the vast ocean’s many island nations and territories have gone from being largely ignored by world leaders to the focus of big-power rivalry. Dreaver has gone from a reporter struggling to get a job to one of the world’s leading Pacific correspondents. With warmth, humour and astonishing honesty, she takes you inside her gruelling life as she and her TV team attempt to stay ahead of power plays, coups, resource grabs, criminal activity and natural disasters. Fearless and determined, she reveals what goes on behind the scenes as she faces her biggest challenges, both personal and professional.
