World in Action was, undoubtedly, ITV's flagship current-affairs series. Over four decades this multiple BAFTA winner was fearless, trailblazing and hard-hitting in its coverage of subjects that other programmes would not dare to touch - earning the ire of ITV regulators and, at times, the Government, with the team often investigating stories at their own personal risk.This volume comprises 23 programmes covering major stories from the '60s to the '90s; these include the 1967 Arab-Israeli conflict, the assassination of Martin Luther King, the Angry Brigade trials in London, EXIT's 'suicide manual', New York's drug-fuelled crime wave, the Bhopal factory disaster, and the NHS in crisis.
