In particular, he assessed nn* Iraq's military to be weak nn* Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction program to be disjointed and contained nn* no evidence of Iraq's active co-operation with al Quaida Wilkie assesses how the case for war was made in Washington, London and Canberra and explains how the three governments routinely skewed, spun and fabricated the relevant intelligence.  Price: $15.00 (AUD) Book Number: 41171  Bookseller: Dial a Book Postage Rates     Evatt The Enigma Dalziel, Allan Landsdowne Press Melbourne 1967 First Edition Octavo- over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Blue Cloth 500 g; x, 186 pp., 4 pages of photographs, appendices, reference notes, index; Colour illustrated dustwrapper is price clipped; ownership inscription on front free end page, to tears on the left-hand part of the front panel of the jacket, missing the bottom left-hand corner of the rear panel and a small piece missing from the top right-hand corner of the rear panel, otherwise a very good copy stop a digital image can be provided to help assess condition.

For many Australian working men and women in the closing days of the 19th-century, "SOCIALISM IN OUR TIME" was no mere slogan. The deepening economic depression cut living standards, increased class conflict and test of the newborn trade unions to breaking point. In this climate, the message of socialist agitators made sense of the experience of the most vulnerable: Was and was doomed, socialism was not only inevitable it was imminent. This is the story of a crucial time in the political history of Australia, told from the perspective of the agitators and their followers. by uncovering, state-by-state, the hitherto ignored faith and work of the "tribune's of the people" and the organisations created by their working-class supporters, "In Our Time" challenges the accepted versions of the social and political foment which gave rise to the labour movement and its parliamentary expression, the Labor parties . -- rear panel blurb History -- Australia Very Good Price: $22.00 (AUD) Book Number: 0225171  Bookseller: Syber's Books Postage Rates     The Times of Henrietta Tabberer, Jane Quality Press, NSW, Australia (printers)      8vo. softcover. 334pp. b/w illus.
