Sydney: Hale & Iremonger, 1982. Paperback small octavo, very good condition, pictorial card cover, black & white text-photos, page edges little rubbed (few minimal tears), pages lightly toned (inside covers toned), minor edgewear, old price marks. 208 pp. A long overdue biography of John Cain, controversial Labor Premier of Victoria, as well as politics in Victoria from 1917 to 1957 during his 40 years in Parliament. This covered many crises: the anti-conscription campaigns during World War 1, the curious influence of wealthy businessman John Wren, the tribulations of the Great Depression of the early 1930s, and finally, the havoc wrought by the Movement. and the 1955 split in the Labor Party culminating in the formation of the Democratic Labor Party (DLP). The author, Kate White, a former academic lecturer in politics, faced considerable mistrust from both right and left factions during her six years of research.
