Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "When Sir James Killen left the Australian Parliament in 1983 he had served in it for twenty-eight years and with eight Prime Ministers - from Menzies to Hawke. Killen is the story of those years, told with the razor-sharp wit and keen sense of humour which were his hallmarks both in and outside Parliament. It tells of the personalities and the conflicts, events and issues which have been at the heart of Australian politics. Killen is a unique insight into the Cabinet room of Australia.
