Would a sane person willingly head into a catastrophe? Maybe not, but a dedicated news correspondent will do just about anything to get the story.
“If you’ve ever wondered what happens right before the camera goes on or after it’s turned off, this is the book for you.” ~ Dan Rather
Greg Dobbs
In his new book “Life in the Wrong Lane
Dobbs shares his incredible experiences as a journalist who has traveled through more than 80 nations in a career spanning over 40 years. Many of those experiences are even more interesting than the stories he was covering. They never became part of the stories reported to the audience … until now.
Although Dobbs’s travels – first for ABC News and currently for HDNet Television – have taken him to many troubled corners of the country and the world, Life in the Wrong Lane isn’t a travel guide about exotic places, nor a contemporary history of events he’s covered. Dobbs didn’t want to ‘re-report’ the stories he covered. Instead, he decided to write about what it takes to cover them.
Finally, news junkies will see what happens ‘behind the scenes.’ Life in the Wrong Lane takes you on adventures from Beirut to Belfast, Tripoli to Tehran, Kampala to Kabul, Moscow to Morocco, and Warsaw to Wounded Knee.
“This book is not an atlas of troubled places. Nor is it an encyclopedia of major events,” says Dobbs. “The events I got to cover are part of history, but the experiences are evergreen. And I got to every one of them by living life in the wrong lane.”
