The Liberal Party Of Australia

In a thoroughly updated and revised work, Gerard Henderson revisits his landmark popular history of the Liberal Party of Australia. From Robert Menzies' formation of the party in October 1944 through to John Howard's government, 'Menzies' Child' tells the story of the Liberal Party and provides a context in which to examine the contemporary Liberals.

Gerard Henderson writes about the men and women who have made the Liberal Party - Robert Menzies, Elizabeth Couchman, Paul Hasluck, Tom Playford, Charles Court, Henry Bolte, Enid Lyons, Gordon Chalk, Nick Greiner and Malcolm Fraser. Along with biographical sketches of John Howard and Janette Howard. Part history, part biography, 'Menzies' Child' allows the voices of the key Liberal players to be heard. It examines the Liberals' successes and failures - balanced against those of the Labor party.

'Menzies' Child' contains extracts from the author's discussions with John Howard, Pattie Menzies, Paul Hasluck, David Kemp, John Gorton, Margaret Guilfoyle, Andrew Robb, Garfield Barwick, John Hewson, Andrew Peacock, Rupert Hamer, Steele Hall, Jeff Kennett, Alexander Downer, Heather Henderson (nee Menzies) and Peter Costello. The interviews give a human dimension to mainstream democratic politics in Australia.
