Book description
From Traveller to Traitor is the definitive biography of Australia's most controversial journalist, Wilfred Burchett.

Considered a traitor for his pro-communist reports during the Korean and Vietnam wars, Burchett was unjustly denied an Australian passport by the Liberal governments of the 1950s and 1960s. As this book reveals, Burchett was an extraordinary Australian whose story is one of the greatest political scandals in this country's history. [Publisher's website]
