Abstract

Crossing The Line: The inside story of murder, lies and a fallen hero, by Nick McKenzie. Sydney: Hachette Australia. 2023. 454 pages. ISBN 9780733650437

I WILL forever remember choking on my morning coffee when I read The Age on 8 June 2018. Nick McKenzie and Chris Master’s article detailing the alleged war crimes in Afghanistan of a highly decorated Australian war hero was confronting, to say the least. ‘This is crazy brave,’ I remember thinking. ‘I really hope they’ve done their homework.’
