John S. (Seajack) reviewed From Our Foreign Correspondent: A Celebration of Fifty Years of the BBC Radio Programme on + 347 more book reviews
300-plus pages of 2 - 4 page reports (1990 - 2005) grouped by continent, as well as a section "From the Past" (going back to the Cold War-era). A few involve "big" stories, such as the fall of Mobutu in Zaire; the charm of the collection comes through in the many pieces showing an attachment to the places covered, where the correspondent makes a point through the story of an ordinary person, place, or event. Definitely recommended, with an added plus that with such brief pieces the book can be read "on the go" for those with unscheduled downtime.
