Coles A Man of Exquisite Honour: The Life of Harold Timperley, Journalist, Propagandist and Pacifist at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
From the trenches of World War I to the heart of revolutionary China, Harold J. Timperley bore witness to some of the most turbulent events of the 20th Century. As a foreign correspondent, he exposed the brutality of Japan's war in China, risking his life to document the horrors of the Nanking Massacre. As a propagandist for the Chinese government of the day, he helped shape global understanding of the conflict, and later as a diplomat, he walked the razor's edge between impartiality and conviction during Indonesia's fight for independence.
In this meticulously researched biography, Brendan Cook unravels the complex legacy of a man revered by some and reviled by others-a man whose work influenced war crimes tribunals, challenged Western involvement in Asia, and helped to forge the modern Asian narrative. Drawing on personal letters, archival records, and eyewitness accounts, A Man of Exquisite Honour is a compelling portrait of a brilliant, difficult, and deeply principled figure whose life was defined by truth, justice, and sacrifice.
