As the Federal election looms and both Liberal and Labor parties gear up for their pre-election campaigns, Peter FitzSimons assesses Beazley's recent years as Leader of the Opposition.
Is Beazley the man who will unseat John Howard and sweep the Liberal Party from power? Has Kim Beazley proved himself to be a credible alternative to Howard, the ultimate political survivor? Indeed, after the unpopularity of the GST and the furore about the petrol excise, could Beazley possibly lose?
This revised edition of the highly acclaimed biography is a timely analysis of Beazley and the election result. FitzSimons' access to his subject and those around him ensures further personal insights into this quietly powerful Labor politician and the party over which he presides.
