Description

Jeff McMullen is a prize-winning Australian journalist who has, quite literally, gone to the ends of the earth in pursuit of a good story and, more importantly, the truth. He has been a prominent feature on the Australian media landscape for over 30 years - first as an ABC foreign correspondent, then as a "Four Corners" reporter and, famously, as a "60 Minutes" stalwart. From the wilds of the Amazon to the beauty of the Antarctic, McMullen has seen more of the world than most people could hope to see in ten lifetimes. Such commitment and devotion to his craft has brought him fame and peer respect, but it has also had a great impact on his relationships with family and friends and exposed him to sights and sounds beyond the parameters of everyday life. This updated edition of his memoir includes a new chapter which comments on the world post-September 11, with insights on the Afghan war, terrorism, conflict in the Middle East and the world economy.
