Speeches, pieces of journalism, obituaries and memorials from this country's most quotable Prime Minister, come together to form the closest thing we'll ever get to an autobiography of the Prime Minister we had to have. From art and architecture to history and music, from economics and politics (of course) to his continuing vision for a better Australia - these are the things that have always played a huge role in the life of former Prime Minister, Paul Keating. Collected for the first time in book form are the speeches he's made on these subjects since he left public life. They offer a unique view of the man and his passions. Fully annotated with specially written introductions, here are thirteen years of speeches - more than 250,000 words - all of them only ever heard by those in the audience at the time. Keating speaks on every subject under the sun - from John Howard and sworn enemies, to German architecture, friendship and privacy, to international financial systems and way beyond. It is full of the flair and turn of phrase as you'd expect from the most quotable prime minister we've ever had. A landmark publication for the curious of mind and the legion of political junkies and Keating fans who just love the way the man thinks and speaks.
