An award-winning journalist investigates a story largely ignored by
mainstream media but right there, in front of our eyes ... Are we
not alone? The moment we have an answer to the question might have
arrived. Award-winning investigative journalist Coulthart has been
intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported
near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The
1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet
research into UFOs is still seen by many as the realm of crackpots
and conspiracy theorists. In 2020, however, after decades of
denial, the US Department of Defense made the astonishing admission
that strange aerial and underwater objects frequently reported and
videoed by pilots and tracked by sensors are real, unexplained, and
pose a genuine national security concern. Compelled to investigate,
Coulthart has embarked on the most intriguing story of his career,
speaking to witnesses, researchers, scientists, spies and defence
and intelligence officials and insiders - to sift the truth from
the conspiracy. Now in the US, with powerful new laws and a
hardening of government resolve may well soon force the military
and intelligence community to reveal what they knew about alleged
UAP crash retrievals and secret reverse-engineering programs.
Bizarre, sometimes mind-blowing and utterly fascinating, in this
new edition of In Plain Sight, Coulthart explains why there is
cause for optimism that 'the biggest story ever' might finally be
about to break.
'Lost Tommies' brings together stunning never-before-seen images of
Western Front tommies and their amazing stories in a beautiful
collection that is part thriller, part family history and part
national archive. For much of the First World War, the small French
village of Vignacourt was always behind the front lines - as a
staging point, casualty clearing station and recreation area for
troops of all nationalities moving up to and then back from the
battlefields on the Somme. Here, one enterprising photographer took
the opportunity of offering portrait photographs. A century later,
his stunning images were discovered, abandoned, in a farm house.
Captured on glass, printed into postcards and posted home, the
photographs enabled soldiers to maintain a fragile link with loved
ones at home. In 'Lost Tommies', this collection covers many of the
significant aspects of British involvement on the Western Front,
from military life to the friendships and bonds formed between the
soldiers and civilians. With servicemen from around the world these
faces are gathered together for what would become the front line of
the Battle of the Somme. Beautifully reproduced, it is a unique
collection and a magnificent memorial.
Joint winner: Prize for Australian History, 2015 Prime Minister's
Literary Awards This award-winning biography is a long overdue
reassessment of the iconic Australian war correspondent 'The book I
have enjoyed most in recent times has been Ross Coulthart's on the
great war correspondent Charles Bean' - Peter FitzSimons, Sun
Herald 'Fascinating biography ...strongly recommend it' Hon.
Malcolm Turnbull via Twitter Charles Bean's wartime reports and
photographs mythologised the Australian soldier and helped spawn
the notion that the Anzacs achieved something nation-defining on
the shores of Gallipoli and the battlefields of western Europe. In
his quest to get the truth, Bean often faced death beside the
Diggers in the trenches of Gallipoli and the Western Front - and
saw more combat than many. But did Bean tell Australia the whole
story of what he knew? In this timely new biography, Ross Coulthart
investigates the untold story behind Bean's jouralistic dilemma -
his struggle to tell Australia the truth but also the pressure he
felt to support the war and boost morale at home by suppressing
what he'd seen. '[Bean] had an obsession with recording the truth
and Coulthart has lived up to his legacy in this superb biography'
- Tim Hilferty, Adelaide Advertiser 'This is among the best
biographies of an Australian historian available, fittingly
released during the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the events
Bean meticulously recorded.' - Justin Cahill, Booktopiablog

'We are the people our parents warned us about' is the motto of the
Bandidos, one of the world's most feared outlaw motorcycle gangs.
For ten years, Steve Utah was a Bandidos insider. He arranged the
security of their clubhouses and electronic surveillance and
counter surveillance. He 'cooked' ecstasy and meth for them. He was
at meetings where interstate and overseas drug and weapons
smuggling was planned. He saw stolen military weapons, including
deadly rocket launchers, being sold. He witnessed vicious beatings,
helped dump corpses. He saw men executed in front of him. It all
became too much and, in an attempt to regain control of his life,
Utah resorted to the unthinkable: he rolled over to the Federal
Police and told them all he knew about the Bandidos. He had
intimate knowledge of every facet of the Bandidos' business in
Australia and many aspects of their activities in North America. He
literally knew where the bodies were buried. This shocking,
unflinching, tragic story is Steve Utah's confession. He knows he
is a dead man running - that inevitably the Bandido code will be
honoured and he will be silenced. But not before Utah gets his
chance to wake readers to the looming threat in their midst - the
relentless rise of sophisticated organised crime networks inside
outlaw motorcycle gangs and the apparent inability of the police
and legal system to deal with it.
