About

Brian Stewart was for decades one of the Canada’s most prominent television journalists and was acclaimed for his foreign coverage for the CBC. He interviewed many of the historic figures of his time, including Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher, Salman Rushdie, and Henry Kissinger. Now, for the first time, in On the Ground, he is sharing his experiences, the personal and professional cost, of bringing truth home from around the world, reporting from sandstorms and shootouts, palaces and embassies. Reading like a whirlwind trip through modern history, On the Ground brings politics, war, and social change to vivid life.
