Much has been written about the lives and art of Heide, but finally the remaining members of the inner circle have entrusted the full story to be told through this intimate biography of John and Sunday Reed.

Behind the News
For more than four decades, Peter Russo used his newspaper columns and radio broadcasts to educate Australians about their regional neighbors and to provoke them into thinking independently on political issues. His relentless criticism of western intervention in Asian independence struggles, and his hostility towards American foreign policy in particular, earned him many enemies, and his activities were closely monitored by Australian security officials. This painstakingly researched book recovers the life of an important figure in the development of Australia's engagement with Asia.
