Autorenporträt

WILFRED BURCHETT (1911–1983) has been described as ‘one of the most important journalists of the twentieth century’. He was the first Western civilian reporter to enter Hiroshima after the dropping of the first atomic bomb used in warfare. His accounts of the ‘atomic plague’ (radiation poisoning) precipitated vehement US military denials and propelled him to international notoriety. An avowed socialist who presented stories from a non Western perspective, he reported from Russia, Vietnam, Korea, Portugal and Angola. His work demonstrates a keen understanding of modern revolutionary processes, placing him among the most impactful figures of Cold War–generation political journalism.
