Internationally recognised as one of the world's leading human rights lawyers and as an intellectual inspiration for the global justice movement, Geoffrey Robertson regularly boomerangs back from leading Europe's largest civil liberties practice to the land of his birth and youth.
Just as his Hypotheticals dazzled television audiences, so the speeches and essays collected in this book provoke, disturb and entertain. Here you will find new heroes in our history, along with insights into Australian education, the story of wrongly jailed Aboriginal mother Nancy Young and the transcript of a previously banned 'hypothetical' . There are also encounters with Vaclev Havel, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Kirby and Julian Assange, and reflections on worldwide problems such as torture, terrorism and the Catholic Church.
