Good copy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work of Australian political biography, Evatt: Politics and Justice chronicles the remarkable and turbulent life of H.V. Evatt — lawyer, judge, Labor statesman, and one of the most complex figures in twentieth-century Australian public life. Kylie Tennant presents a vivid portrait of a man driven by an unwavering commitment to civil liberties and international justice, tracing his rise from the High Court bench to the presidency of the United Nations General Assembly and his pivotal role in shaping the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Written with Tennant's characteristic narrative energy, the biography captures both the brilliance and the contradictions of Evatt's character, illustrating how his fierce idealism frequently collided with the brutal realities of Cold War politics. The work also details the controversies that shadowed his later career, including the bitter Petrov Affair and his leadership of the Australian Labor Party during one of its most fractious periods. Authoritative yet deeply human, this biography stands as an essential account of a man who left an indelible mark on Australian law, politics, and the global pursuit of human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810575102171,"sku":"2026200006755-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8f66c6e3-fc04-41b6-b82a-f0288db3c346.png?v=1779805483","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006755-secondhand-evatt-politics-and-justice","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
