Description: Foreign Correspondent Author: Anthony Laurence Title: Foreign Correspondent Publication: London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd., 1972 Edition: First Description: Hardcover. 201. Anthony Lawrence OBE (1912 - 2013) was a British journalist. His most high-profile role was that of chief Far East correspondent for BBC Radio during the Vietnam War. He claimed to have been inspired to enter journalism by his "wicked uncle" Arthur Lawrence, a successful journalist, editor and author, and Diplomatic Correspondent of the Daily Mail. Lawrence began his career in journalism with local newspapers before the interruption of World War II. In Germany at the end of the war in 1945, his career was renewed first when he was involved in the launch of Die Zeit, and later when he joined the BBC World Service in London in 1945. He was posted to Singapore as the BBC Radio Far East correspondent in 1956 and was then transferred to Hong Kong in 1958. The Radio Times referred to him as "a BBC man of the old school: courtly, cultured, gentle, polite." During his period with the BBC, he was involved with two documentaries, "Born Chinese" and "From Our Correspondent". He remained with the service until 1973, and continued after this with the occasional contribution, including BBC World Service live coverage of the ceremony of Hong Kong's transition from British to Chinese rule in 1997.This copy is near fine in red cloth with silver titles on the spine.
