From Our Own Correspondent

This book, containing many of the programme's best dispatches from the last fifty years, shows why FOOC, as it is affectionately known, has become such a well - known and much - loved institution. Written by the BBC's army of correspondents and stringers around the world, it contains not only the observations of journalists covering the big news events of the day, but also their personal insights into how people around the world live their lives.
