Point Of Departure cover

'A brilliant collection of anecdote and reportage from a supreme master of the craft' Daily Mail

A classic memoir by one of the great British journalists of the twentieth century, a man who earned universal respect not only for his courage in reporting from dangerous places, but for his candour and independence. Point of Departure features Cameron's eyewitness accounts of the atom bomb tests at Bikini atoll, the Chinese invasion of Tibet and the war in Korea, and vivid evocations of his encounters with Mao Tse-tung and Winston Churchill.

"'A brilliant collection of anecdote and reportage from a supreme master of the craft' Daily Mail 'For even his most accomplished professional rivals curiosity has meant everything-for him compassion has always meant more' Observer 'Cameron had a unique combination of moral seriousness, humour, and literary talent' Martin Woollacott"
