Description
Martin Hamilton-Smith uses the lens of a life spent as a soldier, businessman and politician to interpret the rise and fall of seven South Australian leaders over thirty turbulent years. It is a history of statesmanship, honour and duty, high ideals, aspiration and outstanding political success. It is also a story of failure, dashed hopes, betrayal, scheming and deception.
If these events unfolded in Washington or London, they might be the subject of a Hollywood political drama, but this is a South Australian story, with national implications. Seven Leaders in Camelot offers a unique perspective from a controversial former senior minister, taking us inside the Cabinet rooms of both major political parties during their times in government.
