Death of a Translator by Ed Gorman
The searing memoir of a young journalist whose time in Afghanistan left him haunted by the terror of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
'I have never read anything that so fully and perfectly captured the personal experience and the personal aftermath of warThis is a brave book. Ed Gorman has a lonely struggle, but, excellent reporter that he is, he shows us how the struggle is not his alone.' PJ O'Rourke; 'By turns gripping, enlightening and deeply moving, Ed Gorman's story should be required reading for any editor in charge of sending journalists into harm's way.' Matthew Green, author of Aftershock; 'Few autobiographies are page-turners. Ed Gorman's is. I cannot recommend this well crafted, exciting yet moving book too much.' General The Lord Richards of Herstmonceux GCB CBE DSO, author of Taking Command; 'Death of a Translator is a powerful and personal read. Ed Gorman discusses his experiences in an incredibly open and moving way. His story is an example to us all.' Brigadier Ed Butler CBE, DSO
Brought up in the English Midlands, ED GORMAN attended Cambridge University where he read economics and modern history and then set out to make his name in journalism in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. His adventures there form the core of Death of a Translator, which is published now with a new preface. A 25-year career at The Times followed when Ed worked as a foreign news correspondent covering wars in Afghanistan, the Balkans and Sri Lanka. He was Ireland correspondent for four years during the Troubles, then sailing and Formula One writer and latterly deputy foreign editor and deputy head of news. Married with three stepchildren, he now works from home in West Sussex, dividing his time between writing and his responsibilities as editorial director of a sports management company.
