Simpson & I: Between Two Worlds documents some of the most memorable stories ever to appear on the Ten O` Clock News. In a career spanning thirty years, Oggy Boytchev has written a factual thriller about the highly competitive world of international journalism. With astonishing revelations of how stories are discovered & reported, he shares with us the often nail-biting, sometimes touch-&-go moments behind the camera
- as well as the skill & courage it takes to break the news we all watch while safely tucked up at home. Brimming with colourful characters & locations, fascinating history & controversial politics (not to mention the author`s taste for exotic foods), Simpson & I exposes Boytchev`s working relationship with one of the biggest names in broadcasting. John Simpson has often referred to their work as a `partnership`
- &, like most partnerships, theirs was fraught with tension. Painting a `warts & all` portrait of both the man & their working relationship, Boytchev provides unique insights into the competitive & cut-throat world of international newsgathering, & the BBC. Threaded through the tapestry of reporting on international conflicts & towering world events are private observations
- which are invariably thought-provoking, astute & arresting. Whether writing about the intimate world of odious dictators & their murderous political regimes, or family, friends & colleagues, there is a restless curiosity & uncompromising perception informed by the author`s unique background of being, in his words, `between two worlds`.

The Sinai Peninsula holds a unique strategic & political significance for Egypt & its neighbours. Enclosed by the Suez Canal & bordering Gaza & Israel, Egypt`s rugged eastern province has been the cornerstone of the Egyptian-Israeli peace accords, yet its internal politics & security have remained largely under media blackout. While the international press descended on the capital Cairo in January 2011, Sinai`s armed rebellion was largely ignored. The regime lost control of the peninsula in a matter of days & since then, unprecendented chaos has reigned. In this crucial analysis, Mohannad Sabry argues that Egypt`s shortsighted approach to national security has continually proven to be a failure. ...
