Graham Freudenberg challenges some of Labor’s cherished myths, from the Party’s origins in 1891, the development of the White Australia Policy, the battle over conscription in 1916, the tragedy of the Great Depression to the mistakes that caused the ‘needless’ split of 1955. Graham Freudenberg’s major theme is that Labor’s commitment to parliamentary democracy meant that it never became an ideological socialist party.
In this Official Centenary History of the New South Wales Labor Party, Graham Freudenberg tells its colourful story against the background of the great national and international events which shaped it, from the Federation of Australia to the War in Vietnam.
A superb cast of Australian characters live in these pages—Parkes, Reid, McGowen, Hughes, Holman, Theodore, Lang, Curtin, Chifley, McKell, Cahill, Evatt, Whitlam, Ducker, Wran, Unsworth, Hawke, Keating.
Rather a scarce copy.
This copy contains the original media release for the book from October 1991
