AUSTRALIANA ALP Political Biography –

“The number of books written about the Whitlam government and Whitlam himself have created a myth which continues to feed on itself. However, James Walter’s approach in The Leader is quite unlike any previous commentator and is the only serious non-journalistic biography of the man. It is, in fact, unique in Australian political science as the first sustained attempt to apply psychological theory to the career of an Australian political leader.”
