About this book

In a world where the first casualty of war is truth, journalists are increasingly at risk of becoming part of the battlefield. Peter Greste's career as a foreign correspondent has taken him to some of the most serious conflicts, including Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia. Reporting from the frontline in some of the world's most dangerous countries was part of his job. But when he was charged with threatening national security and incarcerated in an Egyptian prison in 2014, he found himself in the middle of a fight– not just for his own release, but for press freedom around the world. On foreign soil and facing a sham trial, Greste endured solitary confinement and detention for 400 days. Based on extensive interviews and research, Greste's gripping story was originally published as The First Casualty. Retitled to tie in with the major new film, The Correspondent, this updated edition provides a first-hand insight into the challenges facing Western media in the face of terrorism– from Trump's phony war on "fake news" and the repression of Putin's Russia, to the war zones in Ukraine and Gaza.
