Australian Prime Ministers
Description
From Edmund Barton to Anthony Albanese, Australian Prime Ministers traces 125 years of leadership, ambition, and the evolving identity of a nation. Across 31 Prime Ministers, this comprehensive volume reveals the personalities, achievements, and challenges that have shaped Australia’s story — from Federation to the present day.
Some were visionaries, others pragmatists. All shared a driving ambition for power and a determination to leave their mark on history. Intelligence, imagination, stamina, and courage were the hallmarks of those who succeeded — though luck often played its part. Each profile offers a glimpse not only into the leader but into the Australia of their time: its hopes, its conflicts, and its progress.
Richly detailed and compellingly written, Australian Prime Ministers is both a political biography and a mirror of Australia’s national journey — a must-read for anyone interested in our nation’s history and the people who have steered it.
