Defying gravity: A political life

This political autobiography is a remarkable mix of the personal and the political as Dennis Altman writes his life. From growing up gay in Tasmania in the 1950's, to the bathhouses and parties of San Francisco and New York in the 70's, and his more recent travels in Asia in the 90's, Altman's life has taken him on an amazing journey which in many ways mirrors Australia's recent history and its reorientation away from Europe towards Asia and its growing confidence as it moves towards a new century and the republic.Altman, Dennis is the author of 'Defying gravity: A political life' with ISBN 9781864482744 and ISBN 1864482745.
