The 2001 federal election was a significant moment in Australian politics. David Solomon, one of Australia's most respected political journalists, brings us an insider's look at the election.

A third of the book is devoted to background political and biographical material establishing the setting for the election, while the remaining two-thirds concentrate on reporting the campaign and in depth analysis of what happened and why.
