'The Bushveldt Carbineers, raised in South Africa in 1901, were volunteer cavalry, under the command of Lord Kitchener of the British Army. In reality, the Carbineers constituted the most disgraced military unit in which Australians have ever served. Notorious for their indiscipline and contempt for the established rules of war, their most infamous officers were Lieutenant Harry “Breaker” Morant and Lieutenant Peter Handcock.'  (Introduction)

'"The best decision of my life was to go into Labor politics. The second best decision I ever made was to leave politics."

'But does a powerbroker like Stephen Loosley ever leave the political world?

In his candid memoir, Loosley writes about defending the indefensible, the best way to start and kill off rumours, the value of truth in campaigning, how to use humour to squash a scandal, the key to fundraising and why bullshit always comes back to smother you.' (Publication summary)
