"This is not strictly speaking a work of biography, though it is at the same time plainly biographical. Indeed it could probably best be described as three biography is rolled into one, each information with, and inseparable from, the other two. They are of a politician, his hometown and his party. The politician is one of the most colourful and controversial figures ever to have stormed the hustings in Australia. "Renegade", "dingo", "rat", "mudslinger", "communist", "fascist": he was bombarded with every insult in the political vocabulary. No one however, ever called him a fool. -- from the introduction Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
