Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages are starting to sun. Marks on right and tail foredge.

In 1941, RG Menzies delivered to war-time Australia what was to be his richest, most creative speech, and one of his most influential. The Forgotten People was a direct address to the Australian middle class, the people who would return him to power in 1949 and keep him there until his retirement in 1966.

Who were Menzies' forgotten people? Judith Brett deftly traces the links between the private and public meanings of Menzies' political career, taking us deep into both the man and the culture he represented and well beyond the restraints of a conventional biography. (back cover)
