Publisher's Summary
Dispatches from an age of impunity by the ABCTV award-winning investigative reporter and former foreign correspondent.
For more than 15 years, award-winning journalist Sophie McNeill has reported on some of the most war-ravaged and oppressive places on earth, including Syria, Gaza, Yemen, West Bank and Iraq.
In We Can't Say We Didn't Know, Sophie tells the human stories of devastation and hope behind the headlines – of children, families and refugees, of valiant doctors, steadfast dissidents and Saudi women seeking asylum. These innocent civilians bear the brunt of the lawlessness of the current age of impunity, where war crimes go unpunished and human rights are abused. Many risk everything they know to stand up for what they believe in and to be on the right side of history and their courage is extraordinary and inspiring.
McNeill also examines what happens when evidence and facts become subjective and debatable and how and why disinformation, impunity and hypocrisy now reign supreme. We can't say we didn't know – the question now is, what are you going to do about it?

Everyone should read/listen to this book.
Sophie is a champion, so tenacious and brave. An excellent reporter.....what an eye opener! She really puts a human element to the suffering of innocent citizens and those who put their lives at risk and those who lose their lives, fighting against these evil tyrants. We need to hold our governments accountable for their complicity. There is no excuse for our ignorance

If I don’t do it who will?
I am unashamed about my bias. This book was written by my daughter and released recently. If you, like me, know very little about life in the Middle East then maybe consider reading this. Better still, like me, get the audio book from Audible (first one free) and pick one chapter....any chapter! You will hear about real people...some now dead, some still alive....that she has met along her journey. It is sad but riveting. It is about real life heroes. And gosh...do we need some at present!

Impressive story but an over the top reader
This was an uncomfortable book to listen to, the story is spectacular but the speaker reads it like an over the top children’s book.
I would have preferred to choose my own emotions while listening.
It was exhausting to listen to.
