True Believers: The Story of the Federal Parliamentary Labor Party edited by John Faulkner and Stuart Macintyre

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at top edge and at spine. Interior and binding are excellent.

Here is a story of resilience, great achievements and self-inflicted wounds, unity and faction. True Believers shows how the Caucus has dealt with events that have shaped the nation, and issues that have challenged the very principles on which the ALP was founded.

Here, too, is the history of federal Australia, told through the 607 men and women who expressed the hopes, fears and prejudices of those they represented in Parliament. True Believers brings to life the remarkable story of Caucus since that initial resolve in May 1901, a story that continues into the ALP's second century. (book flap)
