This is a compelling anthology of twenty-two profiles, from Richard Carleton to Alan Jones, Mary Fairfax to Andrew Denton, Rose Hancock Porteous to Xena, Warrior Princess. Leser takes us on a journey into the psyche of some of our most remarkable personalities and uncovers the qualities that makes them so intriguing.
Using a combination of impeccable research, fearless interrogation, an acute eye for detail and a deft touch with the pen, Leser has drawn profiles of characters who are in turns triumphant, tragic, brilliant, fatally flawed, courageous and compassionate.
