Gough Whitlam, one of Australia's most loved and loathed prime ministers, will be remembered less for some of his landmark policies, such as Medibank, than for his tumultuous period in office, which ultimately led to his sacking by the Governor-General, Sir John Kerr. In this beautifully distilled biography, Michael Sexton, who spent 1975 in Parliament House on the staff of the Attorney General, reveals the essence of Whitlam, and the forces that led to his abrupt dismissal.
