'John Gorton was a significant, but often misunderstood, figure in Australian politics in the second half of the 20th century.  This is the story of his life and career - from unconventional beginnings to his time in politics as minister and Prime Minister, and beyond.
Ian Hancock has had full access to John Gorton's private papers, to Gorton himself and a wide variety of former supporters, associates and opponents, and made extensive use of archival and manuscript sources.  he has written an authoritative and colourful account of both a unique Australian politician and a critical period in our political history.'
