In Uncivilized Beasts and Shameless Hellions: Travels with an NPR Correspondent, John Burnett offers a compelling collection of essays that chronicle his nearly three-decade career as a radio journalist. Known for his reports on Morning Edition and All Things Considered, Burnett provides an insider's perspective on significant events, including the Branch Davidian standoff in Waco, Texas, and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. His narratives delve into the challenges of reporting from conflict zones, the ethical dilemmas journalists face, and the often-overlooked contributions of local fixers and translators. With a blend of humor, insight, and candid reflection, Burnett's stories illuminate the complexities of newsgathering and the human stories behind the headlines.
