The question is, how many mistakes can you make in a war zone and remain alive? Veteran network television producer Terry Irving--winner of 4 Emmys--tells the truth about how he covered War in Beirut.
Covering the news is easy.
Staying alive when you clearly have no idea what you're doing is HARD.

With personal photos and links to YouTube videos.

"The End of History"
That was how the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Soviet Union was described. Well, I was there--on the EASTERN side of the Wall--and, trust me, it was very different than you may have been told. Finally, here is the truth of that day through the perspective of a journalist with decades of experience (and no sleep.) With pictures and a link to the Video of the Historic Occasion.
Now that we know that the historic opening of the symbolic Iron Curtain was the result of a careless error by a bored communist apparatchik in a hot, dull press conference; this book brings even more perspective to this event. I was at that news conference and I heard that crucial announcement.
Sadly, I don't speak German.

The stories continue with the memoir of covering the June 4th 1989 demonstrations in Tiananmen Square and the question of whether any students were killed.
