Brown, Hilary: - Hilary Brown was the first female foreign correspondent for the American television network, ABC News. She was then a token woman in a man's world. From 1973, for more than 35 years, she reported from trouble-spots around the globe. With risk, came both triumph and disaster, and she treats those two imposters just the same, as the poet said. She writes of heartache, concussion and clinical depression, guilt and atonement, as well as the complete, triple-distilled thrill of the job, writing 'the first rough draft of history.' Her memoir is a riveting, self-deprecating account of a charmed life in the age of feminism.
