Cooper had been  in his share of life-threatening situations before, but he  had never seen human misery quite like this. Writing with  vivid memories of his childhood and early career as a  roving correspondent, Cooper reveals for the first time how  deeply affected he has been by the wars, disasters, and  tragedies he has witnessed, and why he continues to be  drawn to some of the most perilous places on earth.--From  publisher description.},
