�We were a motley mob, we sans-culottes of Canberra �� In this vastly entertaining book, Mungo MacCallum captures the spirit of a nation-changing time. He portrays the Whitlam government�s key figures � from Gough and Margaret to Lionel Murphy, Bill Hayden and Jim Cairns � as well as �the other mob� in opposition � Billy McMahon, John Gorton, Malcolm Fraser and many more. The Whitlam Mob addresses some crucial questions: What was the night of the long prawns? Who was the playboy of the parliament? And who was �the toe-cutter�? This is Mungo at his best: vivid and barbed, nostalgic but always clear-eyed.
