AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Al Grassby, the flamboyant previous Minister in the Whitlam Government, and Sylvia Ordonez have written the first biography of the first Labor Prime Minister. Today John Cristian Watson is 'The Man Time Forgot'. His life tells us much about the transition from the nineteenth century world of a global British Empire to the creation of a federated Australian nation state.'

Biography – Books in Brief Stuart Macintyre , 2000 single work review
— Appears in: The Times Literary Supplement , 14 January 2000;

'John Christian Watson, born in 1867 in Chile, was a plain-spoken and self-effacing man who eschewed controversy. In 1904, he became Australia’s first Labor Prime Minister, but the Party lacked a parliamentary majority, and the Government lasted less than four months.'  (Introduction)
