The author of many books on social justice issues and several anthologies of poetry, he has been described as one of the most humane voices of Australia's generation, a writer always committed to passionately illuminating questions about social justice and to crafting answers to the biggest question of all - what it means to be human.

A Lover's Country is a unique human rights story of love and loyalty, courage, cowardice and intrigue, based on actual events.
