This is an essential biography of an Australian Prime Minister whose life continues to influence 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 among cynical Australians with his unassuming dignity, straightforwardness, and refusal to accept any personal privilege. (publisher blurb)
