Description
David Isaacs lived an extraordinary life.
He, his twin brother Steve and sister Hattie were raised by respected child psychiatrist Susanna Isaacs-Elmhirst and brilliant virologist Alick Isaacs in north London. David was educated in medicine at Cambridge before forging a stellar career in paediatric infectious diseases.
He and his Australian wife, Carmel Foster, later moved to Sydney, where they raised four children: Anna, Ben, Tom and Mark.
David's principled stance against the Australian government's incarceration of refugee children in immigration prisons led to him becoming 'an accidental activist'.
This autobiography will be cherished by his loved ones and his descendants, a valuable addition to an already impressive family history.
