Overview: Melbourne's waterfront, 'the most notorious port in the world', was for a long time infamous for its high rate of crime, its inefficient, unjust management, and its employees' uncivilised, insanitary and dangerous working conditions.When General MacArthur's US forces arrived in Melbourne in 1942 they were astounded at the disorder they found: waterfront foremen who demanded bribes for jobs; a pecking order for labour engagement which operated along the lines of a caste system; and shipowners who flagrantly violated health laws by providing grossly inadequate facilities for their employees - one shower per thousand workers, and one toilet per one hundred and fifty men. With massive war cargoes to unload, it wasn't long before the US command, having assessed the situation, threatened to order American soldiers to take over stevedoring unless Melbourne waterfront cleaned up its operations. Why did it take US military intervention to bring about a fairer system of labour rostering and a healthier and safer working environment?Rupert Lockwood has answered many questions about the pitiless resistance to waterfront reform - a resistance offered by employers, governments and the media. He examines the powers and interests that lay behind the campaigns against union claims for much needed and long overdue reform and restructuring.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. I became deeply invested in the protagonist's journey. A masterclass in storytelling. I will undoubtedly revisit this masterpiece.

A very strong entry. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

Not entirely to my refined tastes. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Suitable if your reading queue is empty.
