Summary

On Wednesdays, Robert J. Hawke, Australia's 23rd and oldest living prime minister, has welcomed Derek Rielly into his home to share fine cigars and irreverent conversation. On a sun-soaked balcony, the maverick young writer and the charismatic old master talk life, death, love, sex, religion, politics, sport, and everything in between. On other days, to paint his subject's enigma from the outside, Rielly interviews Hawke's Liberal PM rival John Howard, Labor allies Gareth Evans and Kim Beazley, wife and lover Blanche d'Alpuget, live-in stepson Louis Pratt, and friends, diplomat Richard Woolcott, economist Ross Garnaut, advertising guru John Singleton, and longtime mate Col Cunningham
