Henry Parkes was the dominant political figure in Australia over the second half of the ninteenth century. Parkes came to prominence with the campaign to end convict transportation and some 50 years later was still in the public eye playing a central role in the creation of a federated Australia.

In this book, Robert Travers tracks the political and personal life of this journalist, public figure and legislator, from his days as a radical penniless migrant to feted elder statesman. (back cover)
