Malcolm Fraser: A Personal Reflection offers an intimate portrait of one of Australia?s most complex and formidable leaders ? the nation?s fourth longest-serving prime minister and winner of three federal elections. A man of intellect, conviction, and determination, Fraser played decisive roles in the downfall of both Liberal leader John Gorton and Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam. Entering Parliament at just 24, he was first seen as a staunch conservative, yet by the time he retired in 1983 ? and later quit the Liberal Party in 2009 ? he was viewed as a principled moderate and independent thinker.
