5.0 out of 5 stars
Definitive,
By Robertomelbourne (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Certain Grandeur: Gough Whitlam in Politics (Paperback)
The definitive account, by Whitlam's speechwriter, of the turbulent events of Gough Whitlams' primeminstership and government. Arguably, one of Australia's most interesting, and turbulent political periods, the drama and immediacy of the times rings true in this superb account.

Worth a read,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Certain Grandeur: Gough Whitlam in Politics (Paperback)
This is an interesting, if long-winded, account of the events leading up to Gough Whitlan's election as Australian prime minister--and his subsequent dismissal from office. Written by his former press secretary and close adviser/friend, it is extremely sympathetic to Whitlam and his strong socialist agenda.Its major weakness is that it fails to explore, much less describe in detail, the chief reason for the Labor Party's great schism, namely, the Communist takeover of so many unions and its influence in the Labor Party. end review
