A

first hand political, personal and historical commentary, including author David Solomon’s experience of the Whitlam dismissal in 1975, and Sir John Kerr’s divulgences about his aspiration to be Prime Minister. FOOTNOTES is partly autobiographical, detailing controversies over Anzac Day long before they made headlines, recounting times at ANU, the High Court and the Press Gallery, a brush with ASIO; and near misses with defamation suits, expulsion from Sydney University, even death.
