The Fifth Column Volume 2 — Michael Walsh

A REFRESHINGLY CHALLENGING WRITER who writes candidly. A professional writer since 1975, Michael Walsh provides international media with thought provoking articles. His hundreds of stimulating and inspiring articles cover human, global and political issues. Those easily offended should perhaps break free from the world of cloistered conventional journalism, refresh their approach by challenging what was previously thought sacrosanct. Only by doing so can we rise to the challenges of change to a brave new world. We either shape it or we become spectators. There are still truly independent newspapers that dare to 'publish and be damned.' Michael Walsh, a thought-provoking writer, pushes conventional history with its politically correct palace-journalists into the margins of journalism. His gift as a radical reforming freestyle journalist was encouraged by his father, Patrick, a friend and associate of war correspondent Ernest Hemingway. Also a close friend of Ireland's most revered playwright, Sean O'Casey, his father was married to Kathleen, a literary figure in her own right.
