About this product

Product Information

They put lives at risk. They twisted the law. They drew the military into the heart of an election campaign. They muzzled the press. They misused intelligence services, defied the United Nations, antagonised Indonesia and bribed poverty stricken Pacific States. They closed Australia to refugees - and won a mighty election victory. Dark Victory is the secret history of John Howard's campaign against boat people that began with the Tampa and ended ten extraordinary weeks later - after deaths and disappearances, violent confrontations in the Indian Ocean and international uproar - with the Australian people giving John Howard his third, most daring election victory. David Marr and Marian Wilkinson, two of the country's most accomplished investigative journalists, burrow deep into the ways of John Howard's Australia. They reveal a world of ruthlessly skilled politicians, timid bureaucrats, a cowed Opposition, outmanoeuvred top brass, subtle spin doctors - and the men and women arriving on rotten boats who found themselves ambushed at sea by an angry Australia. Dark Victory is a thrilling and provocative account of events that shatter many of the myths Australia has about itself and changed profoundly how Australia is seen in the eyes of the world. gnificant political event in Australia's recent history.

5 out of 5 stars
by anitlawranc_605 Jan, 2022
Says exactly what it means!
I liked this book because it details facts about the events of 2001 when the Norwegian vessel (Tampa) rescued asylum seekers from a sinking boat, and the Australian government misrepresented the facts with a false story about children being thrown overboard. John Howard became Prime Minister knowing that lies assisted their campaign. A shameful time in Australian history.
