Richard Plunkett has had a varied working life. A former journalist, he interviewed rock stars. An inveterate traveller, he has also written several travel guides for Lonely Planet. Now in the guise of historian he has written The Long Patrol. He is Australian and lives in Melbourne.
The Long Patrol is an insightful exploration of East Timor’s
history and, especially, of the role played by Australia and
Australians since 1942. It explores why and when Australia has been
involved and the impact of that involvement – or of its lack. Part
of the successful The Drum series from Black Dog books, there is
much use made of eyewitness accounts to personalise the events and
bring them to life for teen readers.
