| Abstract
|
:
|
John Curtin, prime minister during the darkest days of the Second Woeld War, is remembered as the reluctant hero of Australian politics. John Edwards offers a reinterpretation of the leader and the man in which Curtin emerges as a deceptively cunning player in the chess game of politics.
