Description
Takka Takka Bom Bom – Al J. Venter
A South African War Correspondent’s Story
From a small town in Mpumalanga to dodging bullets in war-torn hellholes: Al J. Venter, the oldest war correspondent still active, bore witness to some of humanity’s biggest atrocities – and has lived to tell the tale.
In the 1960s, with little money, a sense of adventure and a healthy dollop of chutzpah, Venter set out overland from Cape Town to London. Since then, Venter has reported from 25 conflict zones.
In his memoir, Venter masterfully recounts his experiences, with 32 photo plates.
