AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'"The Fremantle Candidate' tells a previously untold story of the toughest battle in the life of one of Australia's greatest Prime Ministers. Witness backroom wheeling and dealing in this engrossing political thriller as John Curtin fights Labor Party hacks and personal demons to reclaim his ideals and secure his future. Set against the background of what seemed like the imminent collapse of the entire global economic system, "The Fremantle Candidate" is a witty and heart-warming story of a man rising from the ashes to start again.'
