This is an essential biography of an Australian Prime Minister whose life still influences Australian society and national consciousness—a key figure in Australian history.

Lloyd Ross sums up the character of the wartime Labor Prime Minister who fought Churchill to bring back Australian troops from Europe to defend our nation. An intense and passionate orator, Curtin inspired respect in cynical Australians by his unassuming dignity, straightforwardness and refusal of any personal privilege. (publisher blurb)
