Alan Shadrake
Alan Shadrake is a renowned veteran
investigative journalist and author whose 50-year career has taken him around
the world. His first major book The
Yellow Pimpernels told the escape stories across the Berlin Wall and was
the subject of a BBC documentary. Subsequent publications have delved into a
variety of subjects including an expose of life in a Soviet gulag, the story of
the boy poisoner Graham Young and, with Linda Lee, The Life and Tragic Death of Bruce Lee. His appetite for unearthing
the facts and presenting unpalatable truths remains undiminished. He divides
his time between Britain and Malaysia.
