ROE, Michael.
Albert Ogilvie and Stymie Gaha: world-wise Tasmanians.
Parliament of Tasmania Hobart 2008 Large 8vo. 274pp, illustrated. Original cloth-textured paperedboards with dustwrapper. Fine (new). ISBN 0646491237 ***The book is based around (and reproduces in full) Premier A.G. Ogilvie & Health Minister Dr J.F. Gaha's report on their travels in Europe in 1935 under the auspices of the Empire Parliamentary Association. Their visit included Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy, Stalin's Russia; as well as Britain where they attended King George V's silver jubilee. Ogilvie returned convinced of the inevitability of war and famously called for Australia and its allies to 'blacken the skies with aeroplanes'. Roe's account gives prominence to the international themes - even suggesting that Ogilvie, had he lived, would have made a better wartime leader than Curtin - but there is also much in the way of biographical material (personal and political) on both men.
