Author Talk: Ross McMullin talks on ‘The Light on the Hill: An Updated History of the Australian Labor Party’

Updated for 2026, The Light on the Hill is Ross McMullin’s acclaimed commissioned history of the ALP. It covers all states and the federal scene comprehensively and accurately while maximising liveliness and readability. The research is prodigious, the narrative is action-packed, and the scope and span of the coverage is sweeping. The “warts-and-all” story is told through the people who made it, and is full of illuminating pen-portraits and anecdotes.

The Light on the Hill is the most authoritative volume on the ALP’s rich history.

Join acclaimed author Ross McMullin as he talks about his new book, The Light on the Hill, at the Kilmore Library October 21, from 6.30pm-8pm.
