Robert is not just a simple journalist. He is a hunter of the moment. His life is measured in endless flights and urgent telegrams. He wakes up in the Far East, dines in Tehran, and spends the night in the great cities of Europe. But in 1979, he has other plans, and Robert becomes a firsthand witness to an era undergoing violent change.

From the fall of the Shah and the spark of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, to the depths of Africa and the jungles of the Pygmies, from the rise of new China to bloody coups in Central America, Robert documents everything – the fate of dictators, the passion of revolutionaries, and the anxiety of ordinary people. Until his path leads him to a place where, amidst ruthless spies and deafening bombings, he will live the most dangerous reporting of his life.
