Before becoming the prime ministers who led Australia in moments of
extraordinary crisis and transformation, John Curtin and James
Scullin were two young working-class men who dreamt of changing
their country for the better. Becoming John Curtin and James
Scullin tells the tale of their intertwined early lives as both men
became labour intellectuals and powerbrokers at the beginning of
the twentieth century. It reveals the underappreciated role each
man played in the events that defined the modern Australian Labor
Party: its first experience of national government, the turmoil of
war, the great conscription clash and party split of 1916, and the
heated debates over the party's socialist objective. Becoming John
Curtin and James Scullin shows how they became the leaders that
history knows best by painting a portrait of two young men
struggling to establish their identities and find their place in
the world. It tells of their great friendships, loves and passions,
and reminds us that these were real men, with real weaknesses,
desires and dreams. It explains how their early political careers
set the scene for their later prime ministerships as they honed the
techniques of power that led them to the summit of Australian
politics. This is the story of two young men striving to better the
world they had inherited, a story of optimism and hope with
enduring relevance for today's troubled politics.
