The Whitlam Government 1972-1975

A frank and expansive book by a literate and visionary statesman is a rarity. The Whitlam Government is such a rarity.

Gough Whitlam’s Government was a government of reform and his account shows the Labor administration’s concern for Australia’s place in a more just world; for the quality of Australian life; for equality of opportunity for all Australians and how these issues were elevated to the national agenda under his leadership.

In this book Gough Whitlam not only draws a vivid portrait of three memorable years in Australia’s history. He paints a broad and illuminating canvas of Australia as it was, as it has become and as it yet might be.
