John Curtin, prime minister during the darkest days of the Second World War, is remembered as the reluctant hero of Australian politics. John Edwards offers a reinterpretation of the leader and the man in which Curtin emerges as a deceptively cunning player in the chess game of politics.

A fresh and thoughtful look at one of Australia's greatest prime ministers. (book flap)
