Seller: Lily Books, Armidale, NSW, Australia
Soft cover. Condition: Fair. Patrick Cook (illustrator). Book fair to good. Tanning of pages. Some marks on the book block and foxing of inside front cover. Pages clean and binding firm. This book tells the extraordinary inside story of an Australian election that polarised around two men and forced 9 million electors to make a dramatic choice. It reveals how the Labor Party manoeuvred Bill Hayden into resigning; how Bob Hawke was kept in the dark about the plans to make him Prime Minister; how Malcolm Fraser thought he could get Hawke's measure and crush him; how the disastrous bushfires forced Fraser into reverse; and how the 'money under the bed' gaffe contributed the final blow to Fraser's credibility.
