An anthology of historic moments
This collection marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding in 1958 of the Foreign Correspondents’ Association of South Asia (FCA) – renamed the Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FCC) in 1991.
Foreign correspondents travel the world, report on people and events and have hundreds of thousands (in some cases millions) of readers or viewers. South Asia is a specially falavoured assignment because of the immensity of the story. This book, with its collection of reportage comment and photographs, reflects this story. The collection includes articles and photographs on subjects as diverse as tiger hunts, religious fanaticism and the Indian enthusiasm for P.G. Wodehouse, Peter Kann’s Pulitzer prize-winning account of the fall of Dacca in 1971 and Barbara Crosette’s eyewitness report of Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination are two justly celebrated pieces, but all the contributions bring to life the subcontinent’s recent – and dramatic – histories.
Fifty Years of Reporting South Asia Edited by John Elliott, Bernard Imhasly, Simon Denyer Rs. 695
