Biography and Memoir
The first in a two-volume work, this is the first contemporary, definitive, biographical study of Gough Whitlam. From his childhood in the fledging city of Canberra to his first appearance as Prime Minister (playing Neville Chamberlain in Sydney University's St Paul's revue), his extensive war service in the Pacific and marriage to Margaret, the champion swimmer and daughter of Justice Wilfred Dovey, the biography draws on the author's unprecedented access to archival material, interviews with family and colleagues and exclusive interviews with Gough Whitlam himself.
