Burnett has reported from the Branch Davidian standoff and the Kosovo conflict. He has covered the drug wars in Central America; been embedded in a Marine Division in Iraq; and weathered Hurricane Katrina, breaking news hourly on the conditions in New Orleans. And he was one of NPRs lead reporters on 9/11 and its aftermath. But no matter how much time Burnett has on the air to report his storiesand how expertly he has done sothere are always valuable details that arent mentioned. Now he fills in those rich tidbits, letting us witness the parts of the stories that remained offthe air. In Uncivilized Beasts and Shameless Hellions, Burnett exposes the hilarious moments, bizarre encounters, dangerous highways, insufferable colleagues, and unsung heroes hes known through his adventures as an NPR reporter.
