It is a fine work of analysis and storytelling."" --Laurie Oakes, Channel Nine News ""[Kelly] has woven this material into an excellent book which is surgical in the analysis of the tumultuous politics of the period. He combines a fascinating narrative and an analysis of contemporary politics."" --Dean Jaensch, Adelaide Advertiser ""This is one of the most revealing books so far written on contemporary history in Australia."" --Geoffrey Blainey, Weekend Australian ""This project is marked by the sheer scale of its research, the sustained momentum of the narrative, the clarity of the analysis, and the confident authority of the insider."" --Paul Sheehan, Sydney Morning Herald"
