The Life and Adventures of Morrison of China
Robert Macklin
The compelling story of the first Australian to break into Fleet Street?s elite corps of foreign correspondents, this powerful and gripping biography narrates “Chinese Morrison?s? life. A strong sense of courage and devotion to reporting the truth led Morrison to expose the Australian Kanaka slave trade; he worked as a correspondent for the London Times in the decadent and dangerous Chinese capital of Peking; he helped to organize the defense of the legations during the 55-day siege of the Boxer Uprising; he then, as adviser to the fledgling Chinese Government, was a pivotal figure in the fall of the last Emperor and the birth of the Chinese Republic. This fascinating account stands as a testament to his life—one that set the benchmark for correspondents to have courage, truth, and a need for expeditions.
