Book Review:Expatriate, journalist and film-maker John Pilger writes about his homeland with life-long affection and a passionately critical eye. In A Secret Country he pays tribute to a little known Australia and tells a story of high political drama. Pilger unearths evidence of his Country's stark and cruel treatment of aborigines and also of the many slaves exported from Britain.
