A landmark of Australian memoir and social commentary, Ants in the Honey presents Walter James’s candid reflections on political life, personal conviction, and the cultural tensions of mid-20th-century Australia. James chronicles his journey from Labor Party insider to disillusioned outsider, offering a sharp critique of party politics and the compromises demanded by ideological conformity. He illustrates the clash between individual conscience and institutional loyalty with wit, clarity, and unflinching honesty. The narrative moves between political memoir and philosophical inquiry, grounding personal anecdotes in broader questions of justice, integrity, and national identity.
