Synopsis

Lead & Feathers Author Harold Stuart Abrahams spent more than 25 years as a corporate writer for TNT and many other leading Australian corporations, including Leighton, Boral, OneSteel and Downer. Before this, he was an on-air news broadcaster employed by Australia’s highly rated Macquarie Broadcasting Network and rose to become editor and producer for Monitor, the network’s nightly documentary program. After a stint of four years under contract to the Australian federal Trade and Industry department heading the media liaison group in Canberra, he was headhunted by CBS News, New York to become its foreign correspondent in Asia and the Pacific. Harold spent 18 years in this role, and was also sought to report regularly for Radio New Zealand and Independent Radio News in Britain. The commission to research and write TNT’s history was extended personally by managing director Sir Peter Abeles, who feared that it would be lost as the pioneers of the company faded away over the years. Similarly, Harold was also invited to write ‘the book’ on Ernst & Young (now EY), Sir William Tyree, Kingsley Mundey and many others. This TNT book, involving more than 110 personal interviews resulting from two lengthy world trips sponsored by the company, is the most authoritative history of TNT ever written … taking you behind the boardroom doors of this amazing company. Its union problems, mafia links, influence with leading politicians, girdling the globe with airlines, trucks and shipping routes ... everything is there in this exceptional book, including the explanation for its unique title; much of it revealed for the first time.
