John Curtin: A Biography
Author(s): Lloyd Ross
Lloyd Ross sums up the character of the wartime Labor Prime Minister who fought Churchill to bring back Australian troops from Europe to defend his nation: "Curtin was a complex character.

Moody; irritable; uncertain; changeable; vacillating; temperamental; opportunist; sentimental; courageous; all are true of Curtin."
