From a small town in Mpumalanga to dodging bullets in war-torn hellholes, Al J. Venter bore witness to some of humanitys biggest atrocities - and has lived to tell the tale. In the 1960s, with little money, a sense of adventure and a healthy dollop of chutzpah, Venter set out overland from Cape Town to London. Since then, Venter has reported from 25 conflict zones. In his memoir, Venter masterfully recounts his experiences.
