AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Percy Brookfield rose from being an obscure miner in Broken Hill to one of the most radical politicians ever elected in Australia. Even though his public career spanned only five years, Brookfield was central to many of the main political events of the turbulent era from 1916-1921. This biography uncovers new research to tell his story.' (Google Books)
