BULLETS AND BYLINES: FROM THE FRONTLINES OF KABUL, DELHI, DAMASCUS AND BEYOND
Book ID/图书代码： 11712018C00444
English Summary/英文概要： Bullets and Bylines: From the Frontlines of Kabul, Delhi, Damascus and Beyond is a gripping and fascinating memoir by Shyam Bhatia, celebrated journalist and former foreign correspondent for The Observer. The book presents an unflinching and incisive description of pivotal events in the Middle East and India that continue to shape our world today. It reflects on the nature of war-zone journalism, in particular the idea that sometimes, success or failure as a journalist hangs on help coming from some entirely unexpected places.
Very few people have seen and survived the situations that Shyam Bhatia describes in this memoir, and perhaps even fewer have the modest and accessible style that he employs here to involve and engage the reader. While Bhatia does not turn away from describing the full horrors of war — for example, his narrow escape from execution on a bus trip in Afghanistan and discovery of bodies following a mass murder in India — his tale is also peppered with examples of the sheer humanity of some almost super-human political figures, such as his time spent babysitting the infant daughter of Yasser Arafat and his life-long friendship with Benazir Bhutto, which began over a cup of coffee in Oxford.
Bullets and Bylines: From the Frontlines of Kabul, Delhi, Damascus and Beyond is a wonderfully readable but nonetheless revealing description of key political events over the past forty or so years. It is bound to appeal to lovers of politics and history alike, and for fans of top-quality political journalism.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《子弹与署名: 来自喀布尔、德里、大马士革等地的前线》是著名记者、《观察家报》前驻外记者希亚姆·巴蒂亚撰写的一本引人入胜的回忆录。这本书对中东和印度继续塑造我们今天世界的关键事件进行了毫不畏缩和精辟的描述。它反映了战区新闻的本质，尤其是这样一种观点:作为一名记者，有时成功或失败取决于来自一些完全意想不到的地方的帮助。
很少有人见过希亚姆·巴蒂亚在这本回忆录中所描述的情形，也很少有人能幸免于此，或许更少的人拥有他在这本书中所采用的那种谦逊而平易近人的风格，来吸引读者。虽然巴蒂亚不远离描述完整的恐怖的战争——例如,他九死一生，从阿富汗公共汽车旅行中逃生，在印度发现尸体——大屠杀后他的故事也穿插着一些庞大的人类的例子，几乎超人的政治人物，比如说：他花时间照顾亚希尔·阿拉法特的女婴儿，维护他的终身朋友贝娜齐尔·布托。
《子弹与署名:来自喀布尔、德里、大马士革等地的前线》一书可读性强，但对过去四十年左右的关键政治事件的描述却发人深省。它必然会吸引政治和历史爱好者，以及顶级政治爱好者。（WYL）
