The book tells the remarkable story of Vasili Mitrokhin, an introverted, obsessive archivist who stole the KGB's secrets. Turned away by the CIA, he was brought out by MI6. The book also explores how the KGB never died and how that led to the rise of Vladimir Putin and the world we live in today.

Can anyone explain how and why this works?

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.

His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

A true hero.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops
