Percy Rogers could never ignore an injustice.

This book is a political, medical and environmental history of Melbourne.

It charts Percy’s early life as a working-class boy from the bush of Western Australia. He faced many hurdles to becoming a doctor and was sometimes persecuted for his political beliefs. During the ALP split, Percy was a University of Melbourne branch leader of the Communist Party.

Percy’s other battlegrounds have included childbirth and abortion rights, freeway controls, indigenous health and human political rights.

Yet, through it all, he has never lost his humour.
