Demons and Democrats: 1950s Labor at the Crossroads

Gavan Duffy

An inspiring book about dedicated Catholics in Australia who took on the Communists in the unions to protect Australia from totalitarianism. Their efforts were successful, until Dr Evatt's attack on them in 1954 led to the Labor "Split" of the 1950s. An ideal book for anyone interested in Catholic social teachings or politics in general.
