For most of his working life, controversial Australian journalist Wilfred Burchett chose to report from the "other side". His unorthodox views and activities caused him to be labelled a traitor by many. Criticised ferociously by anti-communist groups and intelligence organisations in Australia and the US, the Australian Government denied him a passport for 17 years, forcing him to live in exile. At a time when much international reporting is dominated by 'spin' and propaganda, this compelling autobiography resonates with the issues facing journalism today.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"'Wilfred Burchett was extraordinary. The affected cynicism which some believe ordains them as journalists was not for him. He cared deeply about people and he never tired of defending them against rapacious power. He was also a superb reporter, simply the best.' - John Pilger"
