Author David Solomon has been involved in some of the most chaotic, interesting, and shocking moments in Australian politics and affairs over the last 60 years; and not in the background.
As chief political correspondent for both the Australian and the Canberra Times, founding publisher of the High Court Legal Reporter, Queensland Integrity Commissioner and author of 11 books—Solomon was amongst it all.
From the back of the book:
A first hand political, personal and historical commentary, including author David Solomon’s experience of the Whitlam dismissal in 1975, and Sir John Kerr’s divulgences about his aspiration to be Prime Minister. FOOTNOTES is partly autobiographical, detailing controversies over Anzac Day long before they made headlines, recounting times at ANU, the High Court and the Press Gallery, a brush with ASIO; and near misses with defamation suits, expulsion from Sydney University, even death.
A look inside:
Of all people, Solomon would know the grip that the world of politics has on those heavily involved. To this day he keeps up writing, contributing on a freelance basis to John Menadue’s Pearls and Irritations.
