About this listen
Australians came to the ABC's The Killing Season in droves, their fascination with the Rudd-Gillard struggle as unfinished as the saga itself.
Rudd and Gillard dominate the drama as they strain to claim the narrative of Labor's years in power. The journey to screen for each of their interviews is telling in itself. Kevin Rudd gives his painful account of the period and recalls in vivid detail the events of losing the prime ministership. Julia Gillard is frank and unsparing of her colleagues.
More than a hundred people were interviewed for The Killing Season - ministers, backbenchers, staffers, party officials, pollsters and public servants - recording their vivid accounts of the public and private events that made the Rudd and Gillard governments and then brought them undone.
It is a damning portrait of a party at war with itself: the personal rivalries and the bitter defeats that have come to define the Rudd-Gillard era.

Shocking at the time.
These events were seen a unheard of at the time, but now look at our Liberal Government.
It is a sign of the times.
We live in a different age now with social media and I think politicians are slowly adjusting to this.
Politicians are so swayed by polls it is just stupid.
This book was very insightful, sad and annoying that almost prompts any listener to have think, "maybe I should take up politics, because I will do a better job then most of them".

Brilliant in all Aspects
What a story, what an era in Australian Politics. If I didn't know the players and the contributing characters, I would not be guilty of thinking this was pure fiction. Perfectly researched and delivered by Sarah and her team. If you like Politics then this is for you.

I can't speak highly enough of this work. Who would have thought that a reading of a book about the making of a television series could be so compelling?
Sarah Ferguson's narration in particular was breathtakingly good. She evoked so well the sadness and waste of the squandered promise of two wonderful Labor leaders.

For those who want to understand the Labor leadership in Australia from 2007 through to 2013 better.
