AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The Right charts the rise of Michael Kutin through the ALP ranks, from pre-selection to cabinet, while also telling the story of those who are closest to him and those unfortunate enough to stand in his way. This is a frighteningly realistic portrait of political power with a cast of figures all too familiar to the reader.'
