Russel Ward, the celebrated author of The Australian Legend, was a radical and uncompromising champion of the underdog throughout his life, a stance that brought him into frequent conflict with the establishment. This candid autobiography charts his journey from a respectable, privileged middle-class Adelaide upbringing to becoming a history professor and an outspoken critic of the status quo. Ward details his tumultuous life, including his pivotal decision to join the Communist Party in the 1940s-a move that led to years of relentless surveillance and harassment by ASIO, costing him academic appointments. Anecdotal, witty, and unflinchingly honest, A Radical Life provides a vital, often humorous, perspective on Cold War-era Australian intellectual life, revealing the man behind the legendary historical theories. An essential record of political courage, intellectual struggle, and the price of integrity in post-war Australia. Secondhand, Paperback. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780333478448-SECONDHAND
