The life of one of Australia's most intriguing public figures, former Prime Minister Paul Keating, as told to one of the country's best political interviewer, Kerry O'Brien. This long-awaited collaboration is a biography unlike any other.

Paul Keating is widely credited as the chief architect of the most significant period of political and economic reform since Federation. Twenty years on there is still no autobiography or memoir, yet he is the supreme storyteller of politics.

This book of revelations fills the gaps. Kerry O'Brien, the consummate interviewer who knew all the players and lived the history, has spent many long hours with Keating, teasing out the stories, testing the memories and the assertions. What emerges is a treasure trove of anecdotes, insights, reflections and occasional admissions from one of the most loved and hated political leaders we have known. (publisher blurb)
