h/c + d/j, 24x16cm, illustrations, 322 pages, index, notes, bibliography, several light stains to ledges, light d/j edge wear, used but decent copy. Finnane had access to Barry's personal correspondence and an archive of over 10,000 letters documenting Australian and American life from the Korean War, McCarthyism and Petrov to the Vietnam War. JV Barry was the most important figure in the development of Australian criminology and an internationally renowned. Barry established the Council for Civil Liberties in 1936, was a patron of criminology as a discipline in Australia and a constant advocate for law reform. His life illuminates much about Cold War politics in Australia and he had an ASIO file run on him throughout his career.This is the history of John Vincent Barry: judge, historian, criminologist, civil libertarian and public intellectual before his time. Drawing on an archive of more than 10,000 letters as well as recent interviews with those who knew him, Mark Finnane looks at Barry in the cultural, political and intellectual milieu of inter - and post-war Australia, and describes Barry's considerable role in the creation of a discourse of justice and human rights in Australia.
