Jenny Hocking discussing Gough Whitlam: A Moment in History

Monday 17 November, 6.30pm
Readings Hawthorn

Jenny Hocking’s new book Gough Whitlam: A Moment in History is the first contemporary and definitive biographical study of the former Labor prime minister. Hocking’s narrative skill and scrupulous research reveals an extraordinary and complex man, whose life is, in every way, formed by the remarkable events of previous generations of his family, and who would, in turn, change Australian political and cultural developments in the twentieth century. Gough Whitlam: A Moment in History is a magnificent biography that illuminates the path that took one man to power.

Free, but please book on 9819 1917 or by email.
