Biography
HERBERT VERE EVATT was the most academically honoured politician Australia has produced.
He was also one of the most controversial.
This thesis seeks to outline the paradoxical relationship that Australia's former Attorney General and Minister for External Affairs, Herbert Vere Evatt had.
He was a genius who made outstanding contributions to Australian legal and historical writing and a statesman whose name was respected throughout the world. Yet many people saw his life as being a tragic failure, the story of a man who came within an ace of being Prime Minister but who ended his days depicted by the media as disloyal and a communist sympathizer.
Those who knew him, however, saw that the many fine achievements of his life more than outweighed the lost Prime Ministership. They see him, not as a tragic figure, but as one of the greatest Australians.
He always said, "If you have enemies, forget their names.
Don't remember them at all."
