Pizzey's Perch

Among the many priv­i­leges of being a rov­ing for­eign cor­re­spon­dent is encoun­ter­ing stark, and some­times edi­fy­ing con­tra­dic­tions in the midst of chaos. Over time, they help build a prism through which to view today’s world.

Since 1973, I’ve report­ed on wars, civ­il upheavals, famines, nat­ur­al dis­as­ters, and uncount­able non-haz­ardous news events in near­ly 100 coun­tries on six con­ti­nents.
