Over sixty years, reports for From Our Own Correspondent have tried to go beyond the headlines, and the tactical advances, to tell the human stories of war. Marking this programme's anniversary, Kate Adie introduces from the archives a compilation of despatches from the front line - and the home front. With contributions from Enugu 1967; Vietnam 1970; Iraq 1984; Taliban-ruled Kabul; Rwanda 1994; East Timor 1999; Syria 2012 and Uganda 2013.
