In his job for The Times he became one of the most famous journalists of his time. Much has been written about Morrison but not, until now, have any of his pathbreaking reports been published. Here, Simon Holberton, a foreign correspondent for Melbourne's The Age and London's Financial Times, gathers together the essential Morrison in a carefully annotated edition of his China journalism in a volume that also includes Morrison's unpublished memoir, 'Reminiscences', and his account of his trek from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Melbourne. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Holberton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1764288408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781764288408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hermes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d","brand":"Simon Holberton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520898449663,"sku":"9781764288408","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_748370b4-066c-4d58-b732-795a2231017b.jpg?v=1762887635","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/morrisons-china-simon-holberton-9781764288408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
