Bibliography: p. 359-370. Recounting the memoirs of B. A. Santamaria, a leading Catholic politician in Australia from the late 1930s through the 1990s, this account presents an autobiographical sketch of the vision and aims of his Australian Catholic Social Movement--later rechristened the National Civic Council. Chock full of commentary on crucial aspects of Australian politics, this is an indispensable primary resource for any scholar of Australian social and political history of the period surrounding and following World War II.
