Gough: A Moment in History – Jenny Hocking

Posted on December 14th, 2008 by in Australia, Biography, Non-Fiction

From quiz champion to dashing deputy to Labour leader, the legend that is Gough Whitlam is chronicled in Gough: A Moment in History.

9780522855111

The first in a two-volume work, this is the first contemporary, definitive, biographical study of former Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. From his childhood in the fledging city of Canberra to his first appearance as Prime Minister (playing Neville Chamberlain in Sydney University’s St Paul’s revue), his extensive war service in the Pacific and marriage to Margaret, the champion swimmer and daughter of Justice Wilfred Dovey, the biography draws on the author’s unprecedented access to archival material, interviews with family and colleagues and exclusive interviews with Gough Whitlam himself.

Gough: A Moment in History examines Australian political and cultural developments in the 20th century through the life of one of its most significant public figures.
