Description

Flak jackets are dreadful things. Sure, they have a purpose, and if one ever stopped a bullet or piece of shrapnel from spearing into my vital organs, I would kiss it, hang it up, and frame it. But that hasn't happened, yet.

For almost ten years, Peter Stefanovic was Channel Nine's foreign correspondent in Europe, the US, Africa, and the Middle East. During that time, he witnessed more than his fair share of death and destruction, and carried the burden of those images—all while putting his own personal safety very much in the firing line.

From flak jackets to tuxedos. From the funerals of world leaders and icons to war zones and natural disasters. This is a thrilling account of a life lived on camera, delivering the news wherever it happens, whatever the risk.
