Goodbye Babylon: Further Journeys in Time and Politics by Bob Ellis

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Contains personal insights into the political events at the turn of the 21st century from this master of rumination and revelation. Bitchy, eccentric, brooding, and razor-sharp by turns, Ellis has crafted these brilliant vignettes to illuminate, for the rest of us, the corridors of power he has haunted for more than thirty years.

It covers a range of subjects, including the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Tampa crisis, the slaughter in East Timor, the 2001 federal election and all recent state elections, travelling in Israel, the deaths of Richard Wherrett, Don Dunstan, Sir Nigel Hawthorne, Phar Lap, conservation campaigns in Tasmania and the controversial election of President George W Bush.
