John Hyde Page’s memoir, The Education of a Young Liberal, charts one Australian’s political awakening from campus idealism to hardened insider. Told with brisk honesty and wry humour, this 2006 paperback dissects party factions, policy compromises and the personal cost of conviction.
Perfect for readers who relish political biography, the 315-page narrative blends business, economics and social commentary while remaining accessible to adults and older teens. Page’s journey doubles as a primer on liberal theory and a cautionary tale about the price of principle in Canberra’s corridors.
This used copy presents cleanly: pages are tight, unmarked and smoke-free, with only gentle corner creasing and uniform page-edge tanning that speaks of one careful owner. A sound, ready-to-read edition for students of politics, memoir collectors or anyone curious about how youthful ideals weather the realities of public life.
