Biography & Memoir History Politics & Current Affairs
John Faulkner’s True Believers charts the colourful history of Australia’s federal parliament, giving political buffs and history lovers a front-row seat to the dramas that shaped the nation. Illustrated with archival images, this 2001 vintage paperback captures the ideals and rivalries of Labor’s “true believers” from Federation through the Howard era.
At 328 pages, the book reads like a backstage biography rather than a dry textbook, making it ideal for young adults or anyone curious about Australian politics. Faulkner’s insider perspective, combined with Stuart Macintyre’s historical insights, keeps the narrative brisk and engaging.
This copy is in very good condition: spine smooth, pages crisp and unmarked, binding tight, no ex-library stamps or dog-ears. It comes from a smoke-free home and shows none of the usual wear you’d expect on a twenty-year-old title.
A collectible slice of Australian political history, ready to slot into your politics, biography or history shelf.
