The story of John Grey Gorton as Prime Minister of Australia and his downfall. John Gorton became Prime Minister of Australia after the drowning death of his predecessor Harold Holt in 1967. It was unexpected as well as in the sense that he was a member of the upper house (Senate). The Liberal party had been in government continuously since 1949. The author, John Reid was regarded as the head of the press gallery at the time and well versed in all the machinations of Gorton's tenure. A fantastic history of the times. Quantity Available: 1.
