So Monstrous a Travesty: Chris Watson and the World’s First National Labour Government. By Ross McMullin

So Monstrous a Travesty: Chris Watson and the World’s First National Labour Government tells the story of Australia’s third prime minister and his pioneering government, the culmination of Australian Labor’s astonishingly rapid rise. Chris Watson’s ministry included two future prime ministers, a practically blind ex-labourer, the only MP to be expelled from Australia’s federal parliament, the only MP to serve in a Labor ministry without being an ALP member, and a hard-drinking ex-premier who feuded with the British commander-in-chief of Australia’s defence forces. This insightful book explains how the government came to office, assesses its record and achievements, and illuminates its place in Australian history.
