Peter Greste's career as an international investigative journalist has taken him to some of the most serious conflicts, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia. Reporting from the frontline in some of the world's most dangerous countries was part of his job. But when he was charged with threatening national security and incarcerated in an Egyptian prison in 2014, he found himself in the middle of a fight—not just for his own release, but for press freedom around the world. Greste found himself on foreign soil facing a sham trial, enduring solitary confinement and detention for 400 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on extensive interviews and research, Greste's gripping story was originally published as \u003cem\u003eThe First Casualty\u003c\/em\u003e.
