Description
Jack Lang was twice premier of New South Wales, his second term ending in 1932 with dismissal by the Governor at the height of the Great Depression. Covering a key period in Australia's history, and that of the Australian Labor Party, The Big Fella is much more than an illuminating biography of the complex Lang. Bede Nairn (1917-2006) was the general editor of the Australian Dictionary of Biography for many years and a highly respected historian. The Big Fella was first published in 1986.
