Ever since her days as a reporter on the front line in Iraq Kate Adie has earned her reputation as one of the most intrepid women of her day. Throughout her career she has regularly reported from the worlds most dangerous war zones
- often placing her own life at serious risk. It has given her a curiosity about the people who are attracted to danger. Why when so many are fearful of anything beyond their daily routine are others drawn towards situations or professions which put them in regular peril of their lives? It has proved a fascinating quest that has taken her to the four corners of the globe in pursuit of an answer. She has met those who choose a career in danger like stuntpeople landmine exploders & even a snake man who
- aged 96
- has been bitten countless times by poisonous snakes to find venom for vaccines. She has questioned those whose actions put them in danger like Sir Richard Leakey whose determination to speak out in Kenya nearly cost him his life as well as criminals & prostitutes who risk all for money. & of course there are those who
- through no choice of their own
- have been put in danger such as Saddam Husseins food taster
- not his career of choice. With Kates insight wit & gift for illumination this is a compelling read.
