An Adventure in the 1980s

4.4/5 ( ratings)

As a Wall Street Journal foreign correspondent, and Miami Bureau Chief for Newsweek, Erik Calonius experienced life on the edge: Meeting with the IRA in Ireland; uncovering the world of Salvador Dali in Spain; dealing with the drug dealers in Miami—and finding the American pilots who were dropping arms to the guerilla fighters in the jungles of Nicaragua.

Starting at the Boston Phoenix newspaper, Calonius wrote his way into a job that not only offered adventure, but a front row seat to a remarkable decade: Reagan and Gorbachev, the S&L Crisis, the Nicaraguan civil war, videotape players, MTV, and the personal computer. “This is a story that traces the journey of a young reporter as he dives into the stream of history in 1981,” Calonius states, “and emerges ten years later, wiser and wetter for it all.”

Pages: 187
