Buying the Night Flight : The Autobiography of a Woman Foreign Correspondent

Pioneer American journalist Georgie Anne Geyer has covered revolutions and coups, from Guatemala to Bosnia with the courage and political insights that have made her one of the world's most respected correspondents. This autobiography tells the story of her career which carried her from a cub reporter's beat in Chicago to the Bolivian prison of Regis Debray to an ice cream parlor with Fidel Castro. At the same time, it tells of another revolution - the inner revolution of a whole watershed generation of women - which shaped her choices, her sacrifices and her heart, as she took the daring path to high adventure in a challenging man's world.
