Mentioned in dispatches; Book SHELF MORE FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT, Edited by Tony Grant, pounds 8.99

Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), July 11, 2008

FROM the secret police in Romania to honey-hunters in Bangladesh, this second collection of dispatches from the pick of the BBC's journalists, uncovers some of the stories that would otherwise never get told.

The Radio 4 programme has, since its inception in 1955, developed a cult following - and these bite-size contribitions are sure to delight the armchair traveller and anyone who follows world affairs.

There are the serious - Alan Johnston's piece about his kidnap in Gaza - and the bizarre, including a trip on the world's worst airline and an unforgettable story of a Chinese restaurant !
