Christopher Hitchens described Geoffrey Robertson as the greatest living Australian' and the satirical magazine Private Eye calls him an Australian who has had a vowel transplant'. Just before he was to cross-examine Princess Diana, the London Times complained that he was anti-establishment, republican and Australian' - in ascending order of horror. Internationally recognised as one of the world's leading human rights lawyers and as an intellectual inspiration for the global justice movement, he regularly boomerangs back from leading Europe's largest civil liberties practice to the land of his birth and his youth.

There are insights into Australian education, the story of wrongly jailed Aboriginal mother Nancy Young, encounters with Vaclav Havel, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Kirby, John Mortimer and Julian
