Item description from seller

In this groundbreaking biographical study, Peter FitzSimons exposes the character behind this enigmatic politician his ambitions, his back-room manoeuvring, and previously uncharted realms of his political and private life.Learning the rules of the game at the kitchen table, politics for Beazley was a family business. Handing out how to vote cards for his father at polling booths, helping migrants at the Fremantle docks when his father was a Labor MP, and watching Labor Party meetings from outside the town hall window, Kim Beazley knew the gritty reality of politics before he became an elected politician in his own right.This is a revealingand often surprisingportrait of the man who has had a quiet but profound effect on Australian politics. More than this, FitzSimons reveals hitherto unknown accounts of the Hawke-Keating battle, the move to privatise Australias telecommunications, and the Cheryl Kernot move to Labor. The authors extraordinary access to Beazleys diaries and letters, to his colleagues, family, friends, rivals, and to the man himself, makes this the major political biography of the year. 1998. First edition, first printing. A very good copy only marked by light rubbing at the spine ends and light tanning of the page edges. The d/w is also very good with light shelf rubbing. This copy has been inscribed and SIGNED by Kim Beazley on the title page. Scans available if required.…
