description: This book is a distillation of the experiences and insights of one of the finest journalists India has ever produced. During the eighties and nineties, when the Indian media rarely ventured into flashpoints like Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Anita Pratap braved the odds to send in reports from the front, over and over again. First in India, then Sri Lanka Anita managed to gain access to LTTE Chief Pirabhakaran. In Afghanistan, she eluded the Taliban militia to discover the frightening reality of women's lives under a terrifyingly fanatical regime. In Bangladesh, she experienced the catastrophic fury of nature, as a cyclone ripped apart homes and lives.
