Informed by John Christian Watson's charisma and principles, this compelling biography explores his pivotal role in Labor's journey from its inception to the World War I conscription crisis. Watson, a key figure in Labor's early days, served as President of the Trades and Labour Council and the Political Labor League. Historian Bede Nairn credits him with providing NSW Labor its cohesion and direction. As the first leader of the Federal Parliamentary Labor Party and Prime Minister in 1904, Watson's moderation and alliances facilitated Labor's ascent. This book examines his political strategies, impact on Labor's identity, and the controversies surrounding his expulsion.
