Dispatches from the Edge: A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival

Dispatches from the Edge: A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival - Anderson Cooper Raw emotion junkie. That's how I see Anderson Cooper now. This man needs to feel alive raw emotions, to make himself feel he needs to be where things are intense. Hence, all the war coverage from Bosnia, to Somalia, to Rwanda, natural disasters tragedy, etc. This memoir only gives us a glimpse of this addiction. Each reporting job is put in parallel with an event in his childhood or young adult life (and what a life : tragedy, drama, etc). It's interesting and kept my interest all thru the book. If you want to know what's behind Anderson Cooper's pretty face.
