The Passage of Power follows Lyndon Johnson through both the most frustrating and the most triumphant periods of his career - 1958 to 1964. It is a time that would see him trade the extraordinary power he had created for himself as Senate Majority Leader for what became the wretched powerlessness of a Vice President in an administration that disdained and distrusted him. Yet it was, as well, the time in which the presidency, the goal he had always pursued, would be thrust upon him in the moment it took an assassin’s bullet to reach its mark.

I was completely addicted to this audio book, finding excuses to 'disappear' and listen!
The story of Kennedy is so well known, but the descriptions of the assassination and transfer of power were incredible. What followed with the passage of equality and new welfare legislation was just edge of your seat listening!
Fantastic narration, best audible book I've listened to...

In 1979, the idea of an oral history based project on the administration of Papua New Guinea germinated at the ABC, driven by Tim Bowden and Daniel Connell. This massive undertaking involved the recording of 350 hours of tape recorded interviews with Australians and Papua New Guineans who had been involved with Australia's colonial administration which ended with self government and independence in 1975.

The mix of oral history, journalism, and the historian Henry Nelson make this addictive listening. It is part of Australian history, as a Coloniser and differs somewhat from our disgraceful history in regards to Indigenous Australians. But be warned the oral history is framed in the colloquial language of the time- "boy" and so on which is unsettling. A highly recommended listen or read.
