Keating
Paul Keating, unfiltered — the Canberra years that reshaped the nation.
Few figures loom over modern Canberra like Paul Keating, and this is the book that lets him tell it his way. Built from Kerry O'Brien's landmark long-form interviews, it walks through Australian politics at full voice — the treasury battles, the recession we had to have, the leadership showdown, and the sweeping reforms that reshaped the nation from the House on the hill. For the political tragic, the public servant, or the relative who still argues about the 1980s over dinner, it is a substantial, quotable read that captures the drama of the capital at its most consequential. A proper doorstop of a gift — the kind that gets devoured over a long Canberra winter and returned to for years.
