"Mark Colvin is a broadcasting legend. He is the voice of ABC Radio's leading current affairs program PM; he was a founding broadcaster for the groundbreaking youth station Double J; he initiated The World Today program; and he's one of the most popular and influential journalists in the twittersphere. Mark has been covering local and global events for more than four decades. He has reported on wars, royal weddings and everything in between. In the midst of all this he discovered that his father was an MI6 spy. Light and Shadow is the incredible story of a father waging a secret war against communism during the Cold War, while his son comes of age as a journalist during the tumultuous Whitlam and Fraser years and embarks on the risky career of a foreign correspondent. Mark was witness to some of the most world-changing events, including the Iranian hostage crisis, the buildup to the first Gulf War in Iraq and the direct aftermath of the shocking genocide in Rwanda. But when he contracted a life-threatening illness while working in the field, his life changed forever. Mark Colvin's engrossing memoir takes you inside the coverage of major news events and gently navigates the complexity of his father's double life."… (mais)

Mark Colvin wrote this very interesting book perhaps in the shadow of a limited life expectancy. Born to an Australian mother and an often absent father who was in one of the English secret services, we grew up in London and then found his way to Australia after his schooling. Picked up by the ABC he spent the rest of his life working for them - covering stories in Iran during the revolution, Africa, Russia, Australia and Europe. The most fascinating part of his story was when as a teenager he travelled to Mongolia via China just as the cultural revolution was coming to an end in the 1970s. It appears that he was the first westerner to travel by train from Beijing to Shanghai after the cultural revolution; and was unknowingly also the conduit for the possible fate of Lin Biao. ( )
