Gyngell, Allan and Michael Wesley: Making Australian Foreign Policy
Book Number: 43209
Cambridge University Press September 22, 2003 8vo softcover 300pp very good. Making Australian Foreign Policy should be read by all with an interest in Australian foreign policy.

For both of these reasons, the book will make an excellent addition to syllabi on the topic. Outlining practical and theoretical approaches in the making of Australian foreign policy, this text analyzes the processes, structures and calculations involved in policy initiation in an increasingly tense and dangerous international environment. Revealing changes caused by the impact of the various manifestations of globalization, this book is essential for students of Australian foreign policy. It will also be of interest to anyone concerned with foreign policy, diplomacy and international relations.

Mitchell, Susan: Margaret Whitlam: A Biography
Book Number: 44415
January 2006 8vo Hardcover in d/w. 404pp very good. Signed by Margaret Whitlam and Susan Mitchell. It's absurd, just because you are a politician's wife, to sit around like a dummy saying nothing or echoing him. You might as well give up living. I came to represent all the ungainly people, the too-tall ones, the too-fat ones and the housebound, as I had been, who'd never get the chance to go to China or Buckingham Palace and who experienced it all through me.

Cunneen, Chris: William John McKell: Boilermaker, Premier, Governor-General
Book Number: 46042
New South Wales Univ Pr Ltd August 2001 8vo softcover 271pp very good. William McKell, the long-serving Labor Premier of New South Wales (1941-47), is in many ways the architect of the great electoral success of the ALP in NSW since the Second World War. - His political life began after the momentous 1916 split in the ALP over the conscription issue, when he became the youngest endorsed Labor candidate for the NSW state election. - Before he turned thirty he had become NSW Minister of Justice, and he eventually won the party leadership in 1939 and led the party to victory in 1941. - McKell played a central role in creating the modern NSW Labor Party, a pragmatic, electorally successful political machine. - Neville Wran described him as "perhaps the most significant political figure in the history of NSW"; like Wran, he cultivated rural as well as urban voters. - After six years as premier he accepted - controversially - Prime Minister Menzies' invitation to become Governor General, a post he filled until 1953. He died in 1985. - This lively account of McKell's life provides a vivid portrait of the development of this important labour movement figure, and a readable insight into New South Wales politics during a key period in twentieth century history.
