Frank Bongiorno on Dreamers and Schemers

Duration: 60 minutes

From great men of history to skeletons in the closet, this opus by Frank Bongiorno considers the Dreamers and Schemers who have made modern Australia. Scrupulously researched and perspicacious, Bongiorno’s book navigates the distance between battler and bureaucrat, the machinations by which national identity and nationhood are formed, and the results of these grandiose visions.
