Senator Carr ended his remarks: "It is a beautifully written book. It is really a driving narrative history with impeccable scholarship as well. How rare to get that combination. I congratulate Penguin for publishing it. Most of all, I congratulate them for the confidence they have shown in this young Australian that he could master so great a project, a subject that so many scholars have devoted themselves to... Those of us who watch Michael's career with affection and expectation, and for my part at least want him to go further in other arenas, are delighted - but, knowing all we know, not surprised - that with this book he has entered the front rank of international writers in a single bound."
