Peacemonger by May Bass and Mark Derby

The life and work of outstanding New Zealand peace activist Owen Wilkes. Tributes from friends and associates. Whistleblower Owen Wilkes was a tireless and formidable researcher for peace and disarmament. Before the Internet, he combed publicly available sources on weapons systems and defence strategy. In 1968, he revealed the secretive military function of a proposed satellite tracking station in the South Island, and while working in Sweden he was charged with espionage and deported after photographing intriguing but publicly visible installations.
