Description and Table of Contents
Description
This account tells the story of the Liberal Party of Australia from its formation in October 1944 to 1994. It is a history book, but also an autobiographical account of the individuals who made the Liberal Party - Robert Menzies, Elizabeth Couchman, Paul Hasluck, Garfield Barwick and Malcolm Fraser. It is the story of success and failure at both national and state levels, and an analysis of the reasons for the party's successive Federal election losses. The book includes many interview extracts from the author's discussions with Pattie Menzies, Paul Hasluck, Margaret Guilfoyle, Garfield Barwick, Andrew Peacock, Nick Greiner, John Howard, Jeff Kennett and others, shedding light on the personalities, frailties and divisions behind the Liberal Party's 50-year history.
