"Since its relaunch in 1979, Granta has championed the art and craft of reportage: Journalism marked by vivid description, a novelist's eye for form, and eyewitness reporting that reveals hidden truths about people and events that have shaped the world we know. Featuring distinguished writers and reporters such as James Fenton, Martha Gellhorn, Germaine Greer, Ryszard Kapuscinski, John le Carre, Marilynne Robinson, and John Simpson. Covers some of the signal events of our time, including the fall of Saigon, the end of apartheid in South Africa, the massacre in Tiananmen Square, and the aftermath of the American invasion of Iraq" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Modern First collectors. This title is a great collection.

Please note: There is NO American Edition. Copies available online have serious flaws or are the Softcover Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus.
