Tony Jones, ABC journalist and host of Q&A, has created a curious blend of fact and fiction. Last year, Tony Jones made the controversial claim that Croatians had been responsible for terrorism in Australia in the 1970s, a claim disputed heavily by people in the Australia’s Croatian community. In The Twentieth Man explores that notion in even greater detail, through the eyes of fictional ABC journalist Anna Rosen. I don’t know how well the novel corresponds to reality, but as a work of fiction, it’s an exceptionally paced historical political thriller, featuring real-life characters such as Attorney General Lionel Murphy and a young George Negus, plus an amusing cameo from Paul Hogan, interacting with fictional characters that feel just as three-dimensional.
