Six Prime Ministers by Alexander Russell Downer is a political memoir and study published in 1982. Written by a veteran Australian diplomat and politician, the book draws on his personal experience and relationships with leaders to profile six prime ministers he knew well — including Robert Menzies, Harold Holt and John Gorton of Australia, and Harold Wilson, Edward Heath and Viscount Brookeborough from Britain and Northern Ireland — offering insightful, character‑based accounts of their leadership, decisions and attitudes rather than academic biographies alone. The work blends first‑hand observation with political context, giving readers a behind‑the‑scenes look at mid‑20th‑century political leadership.
