This biography by Kylie Tennant traces the early struggles of H. V. Evatt as a student and as a barrister in the most important political cases of the 1920s, and as a pioneer in industrial legislation. It describes his meetings with J. T. Lang, and his loyalty to his electors of Balmain when he was in the New South Wales State Parliament during the years of the Great Depression. The author writes about his career as the youngest judge ever to sit on the High Court and pays close attention to the important judgements by which Evatt made legal history. He played a leading role in the founding of the United Nations, and was an unsuccessful Labor Opposition leader in Federal parliament. Evatt is brought to life by amusing and intimate details of his family and social life. The books he wrote during these years are also examined. This biography is more than a study of the judge, international jurist, fighter for law, and the framer of it. It is a social history of half a century. (First edition: Hardback with dustjacket.).

Using Fake ID, passing as Aryan, 'Marga' travelled around the country delivering newsletters, sharing information, keeping up morale. In July 1944 her luck ran out. Selma was taken to Ravensbruck, the women's concentration camp, as a political prisoner. Her parents and sister died at other camps - she survived by using her alias. No one knew she was Jewish. After the war ended she could say her real name. Now 98 years old, Selma remains a force of nature, and this very special memoir brings to life her incredible unforgettable experience.
