Peter Read’s Charles Perkins: A Biography profiles the Arrernte leader whose fearless activism rewrote Australian civil-rights history. This 1990 first-edition hardcover, complete with dust jacket and illustrated plates, captures Perkins’ journey from the Adelaide suburbs to the frontlines of the 1965 Freedom Ride and beyond.

Ideal for collectors of Australiana or readers passionate about Indigenous culture, the 352-page volume blends meticulous research with vivid storytelling. Read’s interviews and archival images place you inside pivotal protests, policy battles and personal moments that shaped a nation.

The book arrives in very good, smoke-free condition, its jacket bright and pages crisp. A solid shelf presence for biography lovers, educators or anyone seeking an authentic window on Australia’s twentieth-century social transformation.
