"Spells out in blistering openness the excesses and dilemmas that characterised Australian politics."
But there's also a little more to this book, knowing, from chatting to the author, that part of the action - something about a plucky Australian going up against a CIA bloke who eventually went on to be something biggish in American Politics ... well it makes the reading of this book even more tantalising.

Bill's style is very tongue in cheek, very irreverent, extremely funny and greatly missed.… (altro)
