The acclaimed and controversial biography of one of Australia's most loved prime ministers. Ben Chifley was probably Australia's greatest and most popular prime minister of the twentieth century. Many of the policies that his Labor government introduced after the Second World War came to define modern Australia. These include a mass immigration scheme, the beginnings of a free health scheme, the opening up of access to university education, the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a greater engagement with Asia, and a commitment to civil liberties amid the anit-communist hysteria of the time. But who was this man, a humble blacksmith's son who worked his way up from engine driving on the railways in his hometown of Bathurst to lead his country in its postwar recovery?
