From his escape with the famous rescue of the Danish Jews during the Holocaust and throughout fifty years as a Middle East correspondent for Scandinavian newspapers, Richard Oestermann has found himself at the crux of the great historical moments of our time. Unlike the flashy journalism of today, Oestermanns reporting is in person, on location and dedicated to the objective truth. Complete with exclusive interviews with prominent figures such as Truman, Ben Gurion, Agnon and Boutros-Ghali, Me and the Middle East gives us front-row tickets to the events that shaped the region for years to come, and a glimpse into the unique personalities behind them.
