Description
Here is the definitive story of the most divisive episode in Australia's history—the dismissal of Gough Whitlam's government.
In her award-winning biography of Gough Whitlam, Jenny Hocking first revealed the astonishing secret story of the planning, the people—and the collusion—behind the removal of Gough Whitlam.
Now Hocking brings together this hidden history—a mixture of the unknown, the overlooked and the clandestine—to write a political thriller: the story you were never meant to know.
Professor Jenny Hocking FASSA is Australian Research Council, Discovery Outstanding Researcher Award (DORA) Professorial Fellow with the National Centre for Australian Studies at Monash University and the inaugural Distinguished Whitlam Fellow at the Whitlam Institute at the University of Western Sydney. She is the author of the acclaimed two-volume biography of Gough Whitlam, an award-winning biographer and scriptwriter and a regular media commentator on Australian politics and political biography.
