- Summary:
-
"B. A. ('Bob') Santamaria was perhaps the most polarising figure of post-war Australian politics, saint to some and the reverse to others. Brilliant orator, prolific writer and cogent thinker, he was leader, strategist and ideologist of the forces that fought the Communist Party for control of Australia's union movement at the peak of the Cold War ... Journalist and historian Robert Murray is the author of several books, including The Split - Australian Labor in the fifties. Published in 1970, The Split remains the most comprehensive and impartial account of this drawn-out, fracturing event in Australian history. Labor and Santamaria is a short retelling of the original Split story, continuing it into the 21st century for a new generation" -- Back cover.
