Description
A compelling account of the author's experiences in radio broadcasting in East and Southeast Asia during half a century. Beginning in Laos in 1969 it covers many events of global significance - the communist gains in southeast Asia, the People Power revolution in the Philippines - and the relief and recovery operation in Indonesia following the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004-5. The 1990s especially were times of huge change - politically with the collapse of the Soviet Union and with the impact of new technologies, particularly digital and the Internet, that greatly impacted the media scene.
