Burchett, Wilfred.

At the Barricades.

Macmillan. Melbourne. 1981. x + 341pp, index, very good copy in trifle worn dustjacket. Autobiography of the controversial left-wing Australian journalist. Burchett "was the first Western journalist to reach Hiroshima, just two days after Japan's surrender. He was with the forces spearheading the Allied invasion of Germany. He sat in on the trial of Cardinal Mindszenty. He acted as Henry Kissinger's go-between with the Vietcong. His exclusive dispatches have captured the world's attention again and again. He helped smuggle Jews out of Germany; he traversed the famous Burma road; he met Chou-en-lai in China in the late forties. Through it all he was 'just doing his job - reporting to the world what he saw'." (Publisher's description).
