A landmark work of Australian political journalism, The Rulers: Fifteen Years of the Liberals chronicles the extended dominance of the Liberal Party of Australia under Robert Menzies and his successors from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Don Whitington, one of Australia's most respected parliamentary press gallery journalists, presents a sharp and authoritative insider account of the personalities, power struggles, and policies that shaped a generation of federal government. With a candid and incisive tone, the narrative details the key figures and defining moments of an era that profoundly influenced the nation's political landscape. Whitington argues that this period of conservative rule was not simply a matter of electoral fortune, but a reflection of deeply held social values and carefully managed political strategy. A vital document for anyone seeking to understand post-war Australian democracy and the mechanics of long-term political power.
