This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

WARNER, Denis was born on December 12, 1917 in Tasmania. Son of Hugh Ashton Warner and Nelly Callan.
He attended The Hutchins School, where he was school captain, before embarking on a career in journalism.
He began working for the Mercury as a copy boy in the late 1930s before being shifted to Melbourne to work for the Herald. After his return from war service in the Middle East (1941-1943), he came to the attention of Sir Keith Murdoch, who dispatched him to Asia with the directive to "tell us how it is". Following the war"s end, he worked for Reuters and the Australian Associated Press as head of the Tokyo bureau, from whence he reported on Japan"s post-war experience and interviewed General Douglas MacArthur.
In 1949 he was appointed Far Eastern Correspondent for the Herald and the London Daily Telegraph, becoming a freelancer in 1955.
He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 1956 and an Associate Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University in 1957. He wrote for a number of international news magazines, including the Reporter, Look and the Atlantic.
He was a correspondent for the Telegraph on the Korean War, which he described as a "tragic accident". lieutenant was during of Korea that he developed a bitter rivalry with Wilfred Burchett, whom he considered a traitor for his support of the Chinese.
Warner was a significant correspondent from the Vietnam War, where he was critical of the American conduct of a war he nevertheless supported.
From 1981 to 1995 he was editor of the Asia-Pacific Defence Reporter. His hawkish foreign policy views distinguished him from many of his more liberal contemporaries. He continued writing into his later life, until ill health and his wife"s death in 2010 led to a decline.
Warner died in Melbourne in 2012.
