Behind every great institution stands a man of power — and Profiles of Power brings ten of Australia's most influential figures into sharp, uncompromising focus. Drawn from the acclaimed ABC-TV interview series hosted by Robert Moore, this compelling collection presents candid conversations with men of influence and responsibility from across the Australian community, including figures such as Gordon Barton, Laurie Carmichael, Tom Dougherty, Bob Hawke, Archbishop Knok, Sir Frank Packer, B.A. Santamaria, Rev. Alan Walker, and Sir Thomas Wardle. Each interview strips away the public facade, revealing the convictions, contradictions, and driving ambitions that shaped some of the most consequential careers in mid-twentieth-century Australia. Profiles of Power stands as a remarkable document of its era, capturing the voices of business titans, union leaders, religious figures, and media moguls at a pivotal moment in Australian social and political life. Moore's incisive interviewing style — probing yet composed — draws out perspectives that are by turns surprising, provocative, and deeply revealing. As a primary source for understanding the networks of power that defined modern Australia, this volume leaves the reader wondering: what did these men truly believe, and how much of it did they dare say aloud?
