, Melbourne, Australia
In 1985, the ex-spy Peter Wright contracted to publish his book detailing his facts about MI5 infiltration. Hence the British PM (Thatcher) started pursuing him through the courts in Australia and elsewhere. Wright remained determined to go ahead and it was the future Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull who took up the case for the Defence in 1986 with only a very remote chance of success.. The trial and Turnbull's successful defence turned Spy catcher into an international best seller. An intriguing book for anyone.
