Recollections of a bleeding heart : portrait of Paul Keating PM

In 1992, shortly after Paul Keating won the Federal election, Don Watson overcame initial reservations to accept the post of speech-writer for the new Prime Minister. Although trained in history rather than economics, and generally regarded as a "bleeding heart liberal", he became a close advisor and friend. This book is based on the diaries Watson kept during those four tumultuous years.
