A vivid travel memoir, A Mad World, My Masters: Tales from a Traveller’s Life brings together John Simpson’s most remarkable experiences from decades as a journalist and world explorer. With humor, candor, and sharp observation, he recounts encounters with global leaders, brushes with danger in conflict zones, and moments of pure absurdity—from meetings with dictators to unexpected cultural clashes. Blending personal reflection with lively storytelling, Simpson offers readers both an insider’s view of history in the making and an entertaining portrait of the unpredictability of life on the road.
