4.9/5 (14341 ratings)

Description:In the four decades of his public life, Brian Fitzpatrick (1906–96) was variously journalist, historian, adviser to governments, publicist, and chief spokesman in Australia for civil liberties.His politics had a maverick quality. The right damned him as a 'fellow-traveller'; their radical opponents saw him as a left liberal. In truth he remained an independent radical, one of this country's very few freelance intellectuals.For the author of British Imperialism and Australia, The British Empire in Australia, and A Short History of the Australian Labor Movement, an appreciation of the past and a commitment to a political stance were indissolubly bound. Writing history was in itself a political act.Yet, despite his impact on Australian history writing and on Australian political and intellectual culture, despite his contribution to the defence of civil liberties, Brian Fitzpatrick: A radical life is the first substantial study of his life's work.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
