Author Information

Peter Russo (1908-85), commentator, linguist and Asia expert, was one of the most controversial figures in twentieth-century Australian journalism. While living in Japan in the late 1930s, he attracted suspicion owing to his close association with the country's political leaders. After returning to Australia in 1941, he continued to stir passions with his independent views.
