A Soul on Ice is a rare glimpse behind the scenes of award-winning BBC broadcaster Gavin Hewitt’s career. Beginning with his first days as a cub reporter at Radio Brighton in 1968 through to the front line of conflicts in Poland, Iran, Afghanistan, Guatemala and Iraq, it is a career in which he has rubbed shoulders with world leaders, royalty, rock stars and the mafia, and found himself arrested, accused of spying and in boot camp. From travelling with Bob Geldof for the Live Aid project to being detained in Iran after hashish was found in his vehicle, Gavin Hewitt reveals what he could not say on television, the stories he would tell friends but could never broadcast.
