Author In-Conversation – Peter Dowding SC
August 14 @ 6:45 pm - 8:00 pm
Hear former WA Premier Peter Dowding SC, speak about his co-author book, ‘Secret Agent, Unsung Hero’.
We are joined by former WA Premier Peter Dowding SC, co-author of Secret Agent, Unsung Hero: The valour of Bruce Dowding for this fascinating Author In-Conversation event.
About the book:
Young Australian teacher Bruce Dowding arrived in Paris in 1938, planning only to improve his understanding of French language and culture. Secret Agent, Unsung Hero draws on decades of research to reveal, for the first time, his coming of age as a leader in escape and evasion during World War II. Dowding helped exfiltrate hundreds of Allied servicemen from occupied France and paid the ultimate price. He was beheaded by the Nazis just after his 29th birthday in 1943.
About the author:
After graduating from the University of Western Australia, Peter was admitted to the Western Australian Bar in 1966 and quickly became prominent representing conscientious objectors to conscription during the Vietnam War, and as an advocate of Aboriginal land and civil rights. First elected to the Western Australia’s Parliament in 1980, he became a Minister when Labor won the 1983 election. Awarded a Centenary Medal in 2003, Peter lives in Fremantle.
