Andrei Netto, Marsden, Michael (Get this book)The Paris correspondent for a leading Brazilian newspaper recounts his experience covering the Libyan revolution. During the eight-month conflict that deposed Muammar Gaddafi, 32 journalists were imprisoned, 15 kidnapped, 30 expelled and 11 killed. Measured against these sobering statistics, Netto counts his own eight-day imprisonment as trifling. Notwithstanding the current political chaos in Libya, Netto concludes with some hopeful words about the country's future.A courageous and well-informed piece of journalism.--Kirkus
