An intimate exploration of power, image, and influence in Australian politics.
Political biographies shape our understanding of leaders. But what shapes the biographies themselves? Chris Wallace reflects on the lives and motives of biographers and their subjects, offering fresh insights into Australian prime ministers and the way their stories have been told.
Political Lives examines the construction of political narratives, the influence of media, and the challenges of writing about leaders in real-time. Through insightful analysis, Wallace uncovers the hidden forces that shape our perceptions of those in power.
For readers of Australian history, political science, and anyone interested in the forces that shape our leaders.
