Peacock, MP by Jim Carey and Toni McCrae

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Andrew Peacock is the most controversial figure on the conservative side of Australian politics. His recent defeat by Malcolm Fraser for the leadership of the Parliamentary Liberal Party was far from being the rout intended by Fraser. And his charisma is such that many political commentators suggest that the Liberals cannot win the next election without him in the Ministry. ...

This absorbing account of one of the most fascinating men in Australian politics was written from the inside; Peacock agreed to tape record more than 30 hours of interviews with the authors. No more definitive work on the man who may shape Australia's destiny exists. (book flap)
