I got this from Readings at the same time as The Gatekeepers and have just finished dutifully wading through it - skimming a bit rather than really reading particularly closely. The subject matter is interesting, but truthfully perhaps only somewhat so - at least as treated here, largely through a blow by blow account of how the roles of the ALP federal/national secretary and Liberal Party federal director (and associated national campaign director responsibilities) have developed and professionalised over time.
