The year was 1945. The place was San Francisco. The topic was the
world. Ashley Hogan tells the story of a moment in human history
when Australia became known for its courage and liberalism. At the
conference that founded the United Nations, Australia spoke to the
Great Powers on behalf of the other nations of the world with a
voice that commanded universal respect. That voice belonged to Dr
Herbert Vere Evatt. Three years later, Doc Evatt's commitment to an
international order that included all nations was rewarded by his
election as President of the General Assembly. His belief that
lasting peace could not be secured without economic and social
justice flowered into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Moving in the Open Daylight is a short book about a big story. For
a world that has once again become rent by inequality and war, it
is an important and inspiring story.
