Victor Chang was a brilliant man and certainly a hero in our culture. Through his ground-breaking medical work he saved lives and helped many others and he left a legacy that will stand through time. Why was he senselessly murdered in the leafy streets of Mosman in Sydney in 1991? With his usual skill of story telling and inside knowledge of police procedure, Ron Stephenson gives a gripping account of the murder of a hero and of the police investigation that extended interstate and overseas to track down Victor Chang's killers. Sadly, this was Ron's last book before his death in 2005.

West Indian Intellectuals in Britain

Caribbean migration to Britain brought many new things--new music, new foods, new styles. It brought new ways of thinking too. This lively, innovative book explores the intellectual ideas which the West Indians brought with them to Britain. It shows that for more than a century West Indians living in Britain developed a dazzling intellectual critique of the codes of Imperial Britain. This is the first comprehensive discussion of the major Caribbean thinkers who came to live in twentieth-century Britain. Chapters discuss the influence of, amongst others, C.L.R. James, Una Marson, George Lamming, Jean Rhys, Claude McKay and V.S. Naipaul.
