Hard cover, with dust jacket - fair condition. Some wear and tear on dust jacket.
The Gorton Experiment (1971) by Alan Douglas Reid is a detailed political biography and critical account of John Grey Gorton’s term as Prime Minister of Australia (1968-1971). It charts his unexpected rise following the disappearance of his predecessor, the tensions within the Liberal Party of Australia caucus, his nationalist-leaning agenda, and the internal and external forces that eventually led to his downfall. Reid draws on his extensive experience as a Canberra press gallery journalist to provide both behind-the-scenes narrative and political analysis, portraying Gorton’s leadership as a bold but ultimately flawed experiment in Australian liberalism.
