Island of Blood

A Memoir, Nonfiction, History book. those into political and spritual stories

In this distillation of frontline experiences and cultural insights, Anita Pratap, one of the finest journalists India has ever produced, faithfully reports on the consequences of war, ethnic conflict, earthquakes, cyclones, prejudices, and the mindless hatred and fear that has hurt so much of the world. Wherever there was a story to be told--from her native India to Afghanistan and Sri Lanka--Pratap braved the odds to send in reports from the front, managing to track down elusive stories and make headlines. With determined diligence she exposed the terrors inside such frightening regimes as the Taliban, returning home each time with a renewed determination to appreciate and celebrate the ordinary.

More About Island of Blood

Having been a journalist myself,journalism accounts fascinate me.Pratap does a very good job of not only covering the Srilanka conflict but also narrating it in an easy-to-read manner. It is not only a travel account but also contains light moments which make it an enjoyable read. The Sri Lankan part of the book was amazing and exciting than a fictional adventure. Anita is a daring women and a true journalist. Worthy of making a movie. those into political and spritual stories
