The author picks out key moments and themes in his life from the last year of the Second World War through to today’s global turmoil. Decades he has spent in outback Australia, Adelaide, Sydney and Scandinavia – as student, lawyer, politics academic, and writer. He delivers memoirs laced with uncomfortable insights into his country’s development.
Reg Mitchell is a modest, decent man with a gift for designing fast aeroplanes. Two horrors seek him out – terminal illness, and Nazi Germany’s predicted invasion of his country. His response will change the course of world history.

Winton Higgins was born in Sydney in November 1941. After surviving the Japanese midget submarine attack on Sydney Harbour of 31 May 1942, he grew up on a sheep and cattle station 55 km outside Walgett NSW, in Tennant Creek in central Australia, and back in Sydney. He graduated in arts and law from Sydney University, and practised at the Bar for three years until 1969, when he moved to Europe, where he gained post-graduate qualifications in social science at the universities of Stockholm and London (LSE).
