Bylines

the long version

Bylines is the story of some of the most tumultous years and events of our century. An acutely observant witness, Lachie McDonald brings this history of life relating times with kings, generals, foot-soldiers and villagers. Against this broad sweep of thistory, McDonald provides anecdotes, both amusing and poignant, concerning the personalities at the centre of events and the extraordinary people who reported on them. Bylines is also a record of journalism during an era when the newspaper was still king.
