Lock, Stock and Barrel: A Political Biography of Mike Ahern

Ahern was only Premier of Queensland, Australia from December 1987 to September 1989, yet the significance of his tenure is far greater than such a short span might indicate, argues Reynolds (political science, U. of Queensland) in this narrative of Ahern's full political career. Ahern is portrayed as an enigma within National Party, a politician whose "passions and concerns" went largely unrecognized by his colleagues. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
