| Publisher Description: Reflecting upon his ambition to make a difference and how he reached his goal, Steve Bracks, Victoria's longest serving premier, shares his story in this honest and insightful autobiography. From his early childhood growing up in a conservative yet impassioned family that supported the Democratic Labor Party to his gradual evolution from left-wing university radical to pragmatic center-left premier, this book reveals the background for Bracks's decision to take the party's leadership in 1999. A wide-ranging and thoughtful look at Bracks's life and career, this record encompasses his thoughts not only on the Labor Party, but also on the state of Australian politics in general. |
