The Deprat Affair by Roger Osborne
En route to a golden future as one of France's greatest geologists, Jacques Deprat was suddenly accused of fraud and plunged into a desperate fight to save his reputation. Deprat, thrown out of science, re-invents himself, changes his name and begins a new life. This book recreates the hothouse atmosphere of colonial Indo-china, and among the cliques, the rivalries and the nepotism the text attempts to disentangle the scientific and moral truths of the affair.
Osborne, Roger: - For many years Roger Osborne worked as an editor in the London publishing world, first at Macmillan and then Faber & Faber, specializing in books on medicine, psychology, and the history of science. Since 1992 he has been a full-time writer, using particular subjects to demonstrate new ways of understanding the past. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society and lives in Yorkshire.
