Publishers Description: This entertaining and revealing memoir charts the evolution of the grazier turned politician Russell Cooper through his fires of experience from life on the land to the halls of State Parliament. He writes candidly about his youth, the people and the Party that influenced him politically providing a rare insight into his trademark decisive approach to nation shaping events like prison reform, gun laws and police powers. Russell Cooper writes like he speaks, at pace and without fear - his distinctive voice and turn of phrase hit the page and the reader. He addresses some mistruths, misunderstandings and misgivings with surprising honesty, from his heady days in the Young Country Party to taking on the top job for the Queensland Nationals. It is a relatable account of the political theatre that plays out behind the scenes without losing sight of what matters most - the people of Queensland.
