Author(s): Malcolm Fraser

SECONDHAND BOOKS | BIOGRAPHY

Malcolm Fraser is one of the least known, most interesting and possibly most misunderstood of Australia's prime ministers. In this book, part memoir and part authorised biography, Fraser, at the age of 79, explains himself and his record in government for the first time, speaking from his experience to the present and the future. The book traces the story of a shy boy who was raised to be seen and not heard, yet grew to become one of the most persistent, insistent and controversial political voices of our times. From the Vietnam War to the Dismissal and his years as Prime Minister, through to his many disputes with the Howard government, Fraser emerges as an enduring liberal, constantly reinterpreting core values to meet the needs of changing times.
