{"product_id":"remembering-bob-9781760527396","title":"Remembering Bob","description":"Bob Hawke's death in May 2019 sparked national mourning across the country as we remembered just how important Bob had been in the shaping of modern Australia. In an age when political personas have become increasingly formulaic and predictable, Bob was a man of glorious contradictions. He was a Rhodes Scholar who also had a deep affinity and understanding for mainstream Australia. He was a passionate ACTU officer and president who also knew how to work with big business. He loved his sport, a drink and a bet, yet was also deeply intellectual in his approach to policy. In an age when our respect for politicians has never been lower, we respected Bob. The huge public outpouring of grief after his death showed that we loved him too. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRemembering Bob\u003c\/i\u003e, instigated and edited by Bob's eldest daughter, Sue Pieters-Hawke, is a collection of stories and memories about Bob by his friends, colleagues, old political foes, and ordinary Australians whose paths crossed that of their everyman Prime Minister. They are by turns funny, serious, warm, illuminating and inspiring, and, taken together, they offer a true reflection of the extraordinary person he was, and what he meant to us all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA royalty on every copy sold will go to The Exodus Foundation, one of Bob Hawke's favourite charities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760527396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384","brand":"Sue Pieters-Hawke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41993061040309,"sku":"9781760527396","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4e518cb8-139f-47e7-8ad3-dc15b5686626.jpg?v=1648523075","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/remembering-bob-9781760527396","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
