We Can’t Say We Didn’t Know

By: Sophie McNeill

Narrated by: Sophie McNeill

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?

Brilliantly Told

From the beginning of listening to this story, I was aghast at the horror! Sophie, you are a hero and incredibly brave to have been on the frontline with these amazing people you share about. Heartbreaking and soul destroying events that linger in my mind.

Life as I know it, living in the lucky county of Australia, is a million miles away from the atrocities shared in this book. Revelations of the most wicked man-made-war ever has now been told.

Nightmarish but sadly true this book is a must read for anyone with a heart. Enter with an open mind and take this journey of hell and back with the brilliant journalist, mother of 2, Sophie McNeill. Your narrating voice is up there with the best! Strong and captivating!

Congratulations Soph, I believe this will wake up the ignorant and surely be a life-changer.
