The sometimes heart-stopping, always powerful story of the man who was at the centre of one of the most dramatic international incidents of recent times. Steve Pratt's arrest and incarceration on spying charges during the Serbia-Kosovo conflict captured the Australian public's attention at the same time as it sent fear through humanitarian aid agencies around the world. The plight of Steve Pratt and his fellow CARE Australia workers, Peter Wallace and Branko Jelen, captured a nation's concern and sympathy.
Steve presents and explores his own personal story and career - from a childhood in country New South Wales to officer training at Portsea, to his involvement in humanitarian work - and continues up to the present, including the changes and twists and turns his life has taken since his release from imprisonment.
Through an intimate process of self-examination, Steve Pratt also tells of how he coped psychologically with the brutalities meted out to him by his jailers, and with the accusations that he was a NATO spy. Finally, he shares what he has learned as a human being from this recent episode - indeed from all his adventures and activities in his action-packed life - and considers what the future might hold for himself and his loved ones.
