In a world deeply and sometimes rightly suspicious of journalists, Kate Adie’s reputation shines like a beacon. With unmatched probity, courage, consuming curiosity and a superb eye for the telling detail, she won plaudits, awards, and most importantly, the respect of the public for her work. Kate always seem to be found at the heart of a story, and soldiers fighting in the world’s conflicts famously used to agree that there was no surer sign that things were bad than when she turned up with a camera crew and a microphone. In her new book, Kate has turned to a fascinating subject; people who do life-threatening jobs. Into Danger explores why missionaries and prostitutes, gangsters and food tasters and many others do what they do. A captivating communicator, Kate Adie will talk about people who stretch courage to its limits. She should know.
