Here, he recounts his event-filled path from a small-town farm in Oregon to every corner of the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReporting from Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo, and traveling far afield to India, Africa, and Europe, Kristof witnessed and wrote about century-defining events: the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, the Yemeni civil war, the Darfur genocide in Sudan, and the wave of addiction and despair that swept through his own town and a broad swath of working-class America. Fully aware that coverage of atrocities generates considerably fewer page views than the coverage of politics, he nevertheless continued to weaponize his pen against regimes and groups violating basic human rights, raising the cost of oppression and torture. Some of the risks he took while doing so make for hair-raising reading. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKristof introduces us to extraordinary people he has met, such as dissident he helped escape from China and a Catholic nun who browbeat a warlord into releasing schoolgirls he had kidnapped. These are the people, the heroes, who have allowed Kristof to remain optimistic. Side by side with the worst of humanity, Kristof shows us the best. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a candid memoir of vulnerability and courage, humility and purpose, mistakes and learning--a singular tale of the trials, tribulations, and hope to be found in a life dedicated to the pursuit of truth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNICHOLAS D.
