George Alagiah speaks to Allan Little at the Edinburgh International Book Festival
Join popular BBC broadcaster George Alagiah as he takes off his reporting hat and plunges into a new career as political thriller writer, drawing on his knowledge and experience of working in Africa. The Burning Land sees South Africa torn apart by propaganda and murder as one of the country’s bright young hopes is slain. Two childhood friends reunite in order to fight for the soul of their nation. This event, filmed live at the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival, is chaired by BBC special correspondent Allan Little.
