"This extraordinary memoir is as much an examination of terrorism and of how little Americans have learned about history as it is a superb travelogue."
The Ottawa Citizen
Journalist John Scully knows more about war zones than almost anyone, dead or not dead yet. In his storied
50-year career, he's worked at the BBC, CBC, and CTV.
He's braved violence in Iraq, Sarajevo, Uganda, and Northern Ireland. In his important new book Am I Dead Yet?, John shares some of his most harrowing experiences.
John hails from the old school of journalism, where anything and everything was risked for the news. He argued with terrorists in the Middle East, dodged landmines in Africa, bribed the Vatican, and traveled with Evangelical Christians on a bizarre mission to Jonestown in Guyana. He has trekked through the jungle to confront rebels in Nicaragua and across the Sahara in a ramshackle SUV.
