A life of extremes journeys and encounters

Jeff McMullen has experienced a life of extremes, both personally and professionally. Personally he has had the heartbreak of his father's alcoholism and the loss of his mother through an accident, while as a journalist he is well known for his work as an ABC foreign correspondent and reporter on Four Corners and 60 Minutes. He's covered such stories as the uncovering of the 5300-year-old iceman in Tyrolean Alps, the Rwandan genocide, the Godmen and Women of India, and the Dumarget slaves in the Philippines (to name but a few of the subjects he's investigated). McMullen has led a life of high adventure. At turns memoir and travelogue, the book can be dipped into as well as read as a continuous narrative.

  • "Jeff McMullen's compelling memoir has sold more than 20,000 copies in its first format. For over thirty years, Jeff McMullen has been a prominent feature on the Australian media landscape. First as an ABC foreign correspondent, then as a 'Four Corners' reporter, and famously as a '60 Minutes' stalwart. In that time, he has quite literally gone to the ends of the earth in pursuit of a good story and, more importantly, the truth. From the breathtaking wilds of the Amazon to the timeless beauty of Antarctica, McMullen has seen more of the world than most people could ever hope to see in ten lifetimes. Such commitment and devotion to his craft has brought him fame and peer respect, but it has also had a great impact on his relationships with family and friends and exposed him to sights and sounds beyond the parameters of everyday life. A life of extremes is a rare book. It spans Jeff's years as a reporter as he takes us on a fascinating global journey. Both a compelling memoir and gripping travelogue, it is suffused with the sort of compassion, empathy and humanity that only a journalist of McMullen's experience and calibre can provide."
