Whicker's World Take 2 - Softcover
Following the best-selling first volume of his autobiography, Alan Whicker presents a hugely entertaining and characteristically insightful second volume that will delight his army of devoted fans. Throughout his years as Foreign Correspondent and then television's Man Around the World, Whicker has covered everything from wars and revolutions to plastic surgery and mudmen. His belief that you can ask anyone anything as long as you do it pleasantly gained him access to the elusive and the secret: voodoo rituals in Haiti, drug squads in Singapore, bank raids in San Francisco, ashrams in India, polar bears in Alaska, even the social fortress of Palm Beach. With instinctive curiosity and a nose for a great story, he has lived a life of adventure, excitement and danger, winning a raft of awards from peers and public.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Following the best-selling first volume of his autobiography, Alan Whicker presents a hugely entertaining and characteristically insightful second volume that will delight his army of devoted fans. Throughout his years as Foreign Correspondent and then television's Man Around the World, Whicker has covered everything from wars and revolutions to plastic surgery and mudmen. His belief that you can ask anyone anything as long as you do it pleasantly gained him access to the elusive and the secret: voodoo rituals in Haiti, drug squads in Singapore, bank raids in San Francisco, ashrams in India, polar bears in Alaska, even the social fortress of Palm Beach. With instinctive curiosity and a nose for a great story, he has lived a life of adventure, excitement and danger, winning a raft of awards from peers and public. This lightness of touch encourages the hesitant interviewee, disarms the threatening Dictator. Whicker has influenced a generation of fellow journalists, helped the careers of a gaggle of impersonators and, most important of all, encouraged the rest of us to travel and explore. In this book, we go with him to the palaces of the Sultan of Brunei, watch Luciano Pavarotti make life hell on a paradise island and consider the mysterious death of a colleague on the First Sea Lord's flagship. We learn why India is the best place to murder your husband, and discover the amiable Mexican sponger who was a top state secret policeman. We meet a little old Californian lady who always shot them straight between the eyes and a dolphin who accepts credit cards. In a dusty African game park one cheetah and 156 people struggle to overcome a Masai curse Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
