Richard Neville Stephanie Dowrick quote to come The Whites of Their Eyes is a compelling anthology of twenty-two profiles. From Richard Carleton to Alan Jones, Mary Fairfax to Andrew Denton, Rose Hancock to Xena, Warrior Princess, Leser takes us on a roadshow into the psyche of some of our most remarkable personalities. Using a combination of impeccable research, fearless interrogation, an acute eye for the detail and a deft touch with the pen, Leser has drawn profiles of characters who are in turns triumphant, tragic, brilliant, fatally flawed, courageous and compassionate. David Leser is one of Australia's leading profile writers. His profiles have appeared in HQ Magazin
