War Junkie Zusammenfassung

War Junkie Jon Steele

Jon Steele was addicted to war. Living for the adrenalin rush which comes as bullets fly around your head and bombs explode at your feet, his job as an ITN cameraman took him to many of the worst places on earth. In Georgia he filmed under a barrage of anti-aircraft guns on the last flight from Sukhumi airport. In Moscow he filmed as armed rebels and Militia fought bitter, bloodthirsty battles on the streets. In Rwanda he filmed things too horrific for words let alone film - and was himself seconds from death. In Zaire, he filmed vast fields of children deranged by hunger and dying of cholera. In Bosnia, he finally realised that he had, in fact, seen and filmed too much and spiralled out of control deep into emotional meltdown. His story is packed with action, unexpected humour and emotional honesty. By turns shockingly funny and profoundly disturbing, it packs a psychological punch which will challenge your assumptions about war, and the human capacity to inflict and endure suffering.

War Junkie Bewertungen

An adrenalin-fuelled, white-knuckle ride through the worst places on earth. Soon after starting work as an ITN cameraman, Jon Steele began to feel strangely at home in the kind of places ordinary people get evacuated from. Before long, he was living for the rush which comes as bullets fly past your head and bombs explode at your feet.
