<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>In this kaleidoscope view of Cold War persecution, Karen Throsssell documents three generations of an extraordinary family struggling to clear their names.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>My grandmother was one of Australia's greatest novelists, my grandfather won the Victoria Cross for gallantry and my father was hounded all his life as a spy. </p><p>This is a three generational story. It's about my life; it's about my father, Ric; it's about my grandparents, the writer Katharine Susannah Prichard and the war hero Hugo Throssell. It's a study of the psychology of spies and those who obsess about them, a narrative of guilt and innocence told through poetry, prose and historical documents. It's a tale from another time - but one with obvious relevance, given how regularly governments rely on fear and scapegoating today.</p><p>Let me tell you what was done to my family. </p><p><br></p><p>"Through entwined poetry and prose, Karen Throssell illuminates ASIO's persecution of her extraordinary family. In the post 9/11 era, too many Australians have forgotten what happened in the Cold War. That's why this story matters".</p><p>Jeff Sparrow, writer and broadcaster</p>
