“The Whites of Their Eyes is a compelling anthology of 22 profiles, from Richard Carleton to Alan Jones, Mary Fairfax to Andrew Denton, Rose Hancock Porteous to Xena, Warrior Princess.  Leser takes us on a journey into the psyche of some of our most remarkable personalities and uncovers the qualities that make them so intriguing.  Using a combination of impeccable research, fearless interrogation, and acute eye for detail and a deft touch with the pen, Leser has drawn profiles of characters who are in turns triumphant, tragic, brilliant, fatally flawed, courageous and compassionate.”
