Description and Table of Contents
Description
Paul Keating and John Howard used history to promote opposing policies on the republic and Mabo, invoking Manning Clark and Geoffrey Blainey as authorities for their respective sides. When the Brisbane Courier-Mail claimed that Manning Clark was an agent of Soviet influence - even a spy? - it turned up the heat in these history wars. Suspect History interrogates the case against Clark and portrays the man who became 'Mr Australian History' against the milieu in which he worked.
