- catalog abstract ""In Harm's Way is not simply an account of the Bosnian war. It begins with Martin Bell's brief and inglorious time in the army, and some of his earliest assignments for the BBC. It describes what it is to be a foreign correspondent, his experience of earlier wars and the essentials of good reporting. Most of this was useful; none of it was quite enough to prepare even the most experienced reporter for Bosnia. It was a shocking and defining experience and has changed his way of doing things and seeing things." "Where, for example, should the line be drawn between narrative and comment at a time when the relationships between 'news', 'diplomacy' and 'policy' have never been more confused? Which stories (or atrocities) should and should not be reported as fact when the evidence is hidden away behind impenetrable battlelines? and what is the difference between cowardice and common sense in such unpredictable fire?" "In Harm's Way gives a complete picture of the life of a war reporter: the day-to-day conditions at the Holiday Inn in Sarajevo ('It was the ultimate war hotel. I loved it'); the relationships and occasional rivalries with other journalists; the bravery and dignity of the people reported on and the teamwork of the news-gathering crew. It also describes the stratagems of jokes and superstitions (the white suit always worn in battle, with a silver dollar in the pocket) to keep out of harm's way for one more day."--Jacket.".
