Description: "A Cameraman's Tale is a compilation of anecdotes from his life during his time spent as a TV news cameraman, both with the BBC, where he worked for four years, and Sky News, where he has worked for over 20 years. He has travelled the world, met the great and the good - including kings and queens - covered war, death and destruction and seen and experienced life like no other. Karl was at Lockerbie and he covered Princess Diana's death. He was also in Bosnia, covering part of the war. A decade was spent covering Blair and Mandelson, and he has many stories about both - most unprintable. A Cameraman's Tale gives a behind-the-scenes insight to the events that the general public see on the news. Karl has lived a life like no other, and his sometimes humorous and often unbelieveable stories create an unmissable collection that will be enjoyed by everyone, including fans of books similar to John Snow's Shooting History." --Publisher's description.
