From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Revolutionary cool re-evaluated, rest and recuperation, and a president’s birthday bash. Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from correspondents, reporters and writers around the world. Alastair Leithead reflects on political turmoil in South Africa as he mingles with protestors and party-goers. Colin Freeman is on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in an area favoured, he’s told, by the Taliban for rest, recuperation and womanising. Phoebe Smith takes a road trip, along the Alaskan Highway, or the Alaska Canada Highway as others prefer to call it. And Stephen Smith meets Che Guevara’s younger brother.
