The Best of from Our Own Correspondent - George Spink

From Our Own Correspondent remains one of the most popular BBC radio programmes almost forty years after it first came out. Broadcast twice weekly on Radio 4 and internationally by the World Service, the programme draws on the talents of BBC correspondents from around the world to bring to listeners reflections on major world events as well as more personal tales. Powerful eyewitness accounts of the stories that made the news over the past year, moving impressions of everyday life, and highly comic moments - some issuing from even the most desperate situations: all are to be found in the fourth edition of The Best of From Our Own Correspondent. Included here are: Martin Bell, Allan Little and Misha Glenny on the war in the former Yugoslavia, Mark Tully on India, Tim Llewellyn on the Middle East, Fergal Keane on South Africa, Kevin Connolly and Bridget Kendall on the former Soviet Union, Hugh O'Shaughnessy on Latin America, Gavin Esler on the USA, Andy Kershaw on motorbike racing in the Isle of Man... and much more besides.
