Description

Bolte: A Political Biography by Peter Blazey examines the life and political career of Sir Henry Bolte, one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century Victorian politics.

Bolte served as Premier of Victoria for more than seventeen years, and this biography explores his rise to political prominence, leadership style, policies and impact on the state during a period of major social and economic change.

Blazey places Bolte’s career within the broader context of Victorian politics from the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, making this a useful title for readers interested in Australian political history, state government and political biography.

Includes an index and bibliographical notes.
