THE FROZEN HEAD OF MONSIEUR MILENKO

- A New Book by Elizabeth McDougall, Henfield.

For twenty–three years Elizabeth accompanied her husband, BBC Foreign Correspondent Ian, around the globe on three continents and in seven countries in what were, to put it mildly, 'interesting times'.

Mau Mau; Vietnam; the communist uprising in Malaysia; Yugoslavia under Tito; Moscow during the Cold War etc. etc.

Her book depicts the life of a journalist's wife coping with her husband's many absences, the necessity of quickly learning foreign languages and the problems of raising a family all over the world. She also had the pleasure of observing, close–up, glamorous and famous personalities of the time, among them Brigitte Bardot, Jackie Kennedy, Ava Gardner and Madame Nikita Khrushchev. Elizabeth also experienced a less agreeable incident when she was nearly captured by Vietnamese communists outside Hanoi.
