In this book Michael Sexton gives an accounting of the decline of the Whitlam government. For, as the rear panel blurb states, " ... Politicians are not the only exercisers of power in Australia. Indeed, often they are singularly unable to influence the course of events. At all times they are subject to the limits imposed by other power-holders – bureaucrats, manufacturers, trade unions, banks, mining companies, media groups ...' So writes Michael Sexton who, from an office in Parliament House, watched a national government slide towards destruction. Illusions of power is an account of that decline – however reform government was relentlessly pursued by its opponents, how it founded, how it came to make the decisions that lead to its destruction."
