Fraser in Office

'Unique and important ... Fraser and his legacy as prime minister as perceived by one of his closest advisers'

-- David Kemp

Fraser in Office is a long-overdue reappraisal of Australia's 22nd Prime Minister. It examines Malcolm Fraser's prime ministership in historical context, recognising the challenge of restoring good government after the Whitlam years. Unclouded by later political disputes and separated from the extraordinary manner by which he entered office, Fraser emerges as a leader of considerable substance.
