	Articulate: John Birmingham's alternative history. August 25, 2006. ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corp)
		Birmingham will also write yet another thriller, this one set in an alternative 80s where the Communists have seized much of South-East Asia, and populated by characters such as dashing RAF fighter pilot Richard Branson.
		Birmingham says concocting alternative histories (and futures) for celebrities added to what was initially just meant to be a fun diversion after the brain-busting effort of writing his award-winning history of Sydney, Leviathan.
		Birmingham says he also learnt the importance of deciding early on who the main characters are.

		In Weapons of Choice Australian author John Birmingham blends our future with our past as a multi-national force of ships about to embark on freeing Indonesia from radical Islamists in the year 2021 is caught in an experiment gone awry.
		Birmingham brings in the perspective of many historical figures in the novel, not shying away from them as other alternate history novels have done.
		I don’t know how much of the weaponry Birmingham details is reality versus what he has envisioned for the future, but I found the depictions and details fascinating, even as someone who generally doesn’t go for a lot of military-type novels.

	John Birmingham - Author Profile - The Northern Rivers Echo www.echonews.com
		At the moment, John Birmingham's time is divided between researching an upcoming book, promoting the Falafel film (directed by Richard Lowenstein and staring Noah Taylor), caring for a baby, attending the odd literary festival, and, still with one foot in the 'voice-of-youth' camp, popping up on the Big Brother media orgy.
		John Birmingham was born in England (his parents came out as £10 Poms), grew up in Ipswich.
		Although Birmingham is reasonably sure that people won't expect the author of a book like Falafel to have read classical literature, it's really not that surprising when you consider that the most powerful theme in Leviathan is the way that the ranks of corruption weave inextricably through time.

		I should acknowledge that Birmingham has worked very hard and done a great deal of historical research to dig up some of the mouldier bones in the Sydney knackers yard and there are many events and characters here, but it doesn't hang together too well.
		Birmingham drills beneath the cover story of a successful multicultural metropolis and melts the boundaries between past and present to reveal a ghost city beneath the surface of concrete and glass.
		In Birmingham's alternative history of Sydney, the yawning chasm between the mega-rich and the lumpen masses is as evident in the insane wealth of the new elites as it was in the head-spinning rapacity of the NSW Rum Corps.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Guardian daily comment \| Gus John: Birmingham riots have been 30 years in the making
		When I worked in Birmingham for the Runnymede Trust in the early 70s and wrote a report titled Race in the Inner City, Handsworth was a very different place.
		When the Birmingham Evening Mail wrote about "the angry suburbs", it was describing the reaction of young African-Caribbeans and their parents to the treatment they were receiving from state institutions, particularly the police, and from a hostile population that blamed them for pre-existing social ills.
		Julius Silverman's report on the 1985 disturbances, commissioned by Birmingham city council, noted that the Asian communities were then expressing resentment at "attacks by hooligans upon defenceless Asian people, especially women", while "there is some jealousy of Indian shopkeepers by fl youths, although most of the Asians are themselves very poor".

		In his speeches John Bright attacked the privileged position of the landed aristocracy and argued that their selfishness was causing the working class a great deal of suffering.
		During the period I spent in Birmingham, John Bright was one of the three Members of Parliament for the borough.
		The plainness of his language, the unaffected simplicity of his illustrations, his power to drive home the points of his speech, in conjunction with the mellifluous vocalization of which he was master, made one feel that it was a great privilege to listen to such oratory, and to observe the orator.
