Less well known is their contemporary and close friend, journalist Douglas Brass, whose remarkable four-decade career gave him a unique view of a turbulent period in world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrass reported extensively and intelligently on post-war Europe and also established himself as an admired royal correspondent. He went on to become Rupert Murdoch's \u003cem\u003eeminence grise\u003c\/em\u003e, was editorial director of News Limited and played a major role in the establishment of \u003cem\u003eThe Australian\u003c\/em\u003e. His powerful columns opposing Australia's participation in the Vietnam War were extremely influential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet this prominent journalist, so close to the making of history, remains virtually unknown in his own country. For this fascinating, readable and timely biography, Peter Cox has researched widely to reveal a man who loved his family and his homeland yet often fiercely criticised New Zealand, a man who was at the forefront of great events yet remained private and reserved, a man who could be serious yet also funny and kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDouglas Brass was as fine a writer in his field as his more famous contemporaries. In \u003cem\u003eTunis is Mad Tonight\u003c\/em\u003e, a long neglected New Zealander takes his deserved place in the spotlight and an extraordinary life is revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67712403112172,"sku":"9781991103697","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d106f83cea6d6450f1bfcb20ab8ada62.jpg?v=1791866513","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/tunis-is-mad-tonight-by-peter-cox-9781991103697","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
