Meena Blesing

4.9/5 (20401 ratings)

Description:This is the story of an unprecedented invasion of privacy, an erosion of civil liberties that almost destroyed an Australian family. Meena Blesing, wife of David Combe, looks back at 1983, when events swept her from peace and happiness to turmoil and uncertainty. It was the year of the great international 'spy' scandal, the so-called 'Combe / Ivanov affair'.The summer of that year was good for the Combe family. David Combe had left his exhausting eight-year stint as National Secretary of the Australian Labor Party. Together, he and Meena had started a new consultancy business, which was booming. Their family life with four young boys was full and exciting. They were secure, lived in Canberra amongst a close-knit group of friends and had much the same concerns as any other young family. They believed that their private lives were their own - the normal expectation of anyone living in a Western democratic community.Little did David and Meena know, at the beginning of that autumn, what momentous changes were in store, that they were to be at the centre of a political crisis of incredible dimensions, to endure continuous exposure of the most intimate details of their lives to the media and suffer the ultimate destruction of their livelihood.Meena Blesing tells a remarkable tale of the anger, the frustration, the horror of a mother striving to shield her innocent family inthe face of an implacable political will, to protect from a national scandal all she held dear and, in the final instance, to save her own sanity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
