Jim Cairns, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, is a
familiar sight around the markets of Melbourne, seated at a card
table stacked with copies of his latest book. It's an unlikely
occupation for a man who was once the major thinker and driving
force behind the ideals and policies of Australia's most reformist
government. In this mature and sophisticated biography, Paul
Strangio reveals a consistent thread running through the apparent
contradictions of Cairns's career. He explains how a policeman
turned into a counter-culture guru; how an opponent of capitalism
became Minister for Trade; how a devoted husband could feel 'a kind
of love' for Juni Morosi. In this highly readable and carefully
researched book, Strangio argues that Cairns' contributions to
public life have been seriously understimated. Drawing on a rich
range of archival and oral sources, and recounting many fascinating
anecdotes, this is a masterly portrait of one of those rare people
who never stop in their quest for truth.
