They reveal the secret history of the campaign against boat people that began with the Tampa and ended ten extraordinary weeks later with the Australian people giving John Howard his third, most daring election victory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDark Victory\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling and provocative account of events that shattered many of the myths Australia had about itself and changed profoundly how Australia is seen in the eyes of the world.
