Frank Bongiorno's speech launching Phillip Deery's Spies and Sparrows
We’re privileged to have Phillip Deery’s Spies and Sparrows: ASIO and the Cold War for several reasons. In the first place, it’s the work of Australia’s leading cold war historian. Phillip’s knowledge of the primary sources, of the historical scholarship, of the key personalities, living and dead, is incomparable. His own contribution to our understanding of Australia’s cold war has been formidable: through a vast body of published scholarship, through memorable performances at conferences, through his teaching and supervision, and, increasingly in recent years, through his book reviewing in the weekend papers and his voice on the airwaves.
