From the newsrooms of New Zealand to the broadcasting studios of Sydney, I Lived These Years is the vivid, first-hand memoir of Eric Baume — one of the most colourful and controversial figures in twentieth-century Australasian journalism. With characteristic candour, Baume chronicles a life lived at full throttle: his encounters with the powerful and the infamous, his career as a celebrated newspaper editor and radio broadcaster, and the relentless drive that made him both admired and feared across the Australian media landscape. Written with the sharp wit and unflinching directness that defined Baume's public persona, this autobiography presents an intimate portrait of an era when print journalism shaped public opinion and larger-than-life personalities commanded the airwaves. The narrative crackles with anecdote and observation, illuminating the social and cultural currents of mid-century Australia and beyond. For those drawn to the inner world of a man who never shied from controversy, this memoir leaves one wondering — what did he hold back?
