"A broad, concise and inclusive vision of Australia and Australians by one our most renowned historians. After a lifetime of research and debate on Australian and international history, Geoffrey Blainey is well-placed to introduce us to the people who have played a part and to guide us through the events that have created the Australian identity: the mania for spectator sport; the suspicion of the tall poppy; the rivalries of Catholic and Protestant, Sydney and Melbourne, new and old homelands and new and old allies; the conflicts of war abroad and race at home; the importance of technology; defining the outback; the rise and rise of the mining industry; the recognition of our Aboriginal past and Native Title; the successes and failures of the nation."

"Graham Richardson was, for almost twenty years, one of the most powerful figures in the Australian Labor Party. His rise to power was marked by explosions of violence and bitterness, won him rare political influence and at times brought his career to the brink of disaster. If there was a deal to be made, he was The Fixer.".
