Bill Hayden's autobiography charts his life, from a childhood shaped by the Great Depression in Brisbane, to becoming a key figure in Australian politics. Hayden's early experiences fostered a deep commitment to social justice, which permeated his thirty-five-year career.
He recounts formative events such as the Labor Party divisions of the 1950s, the dismissal of the Whitlam government, and the tumultuous leadership battle of 1983. He provides insightful assessments of Bob Hawke and Paul Keating, examining their influence on the political landscape.
Hayden gives an account of his policy-making achievements. His reflections on his term as Governor-General, coupled with his candid views on Australia's future, make for a compelling and enlightening political memoir.
