Long Journey to the Border - A Life Of John Mulgan

Author of the classic novel Man Alone, John Mulgan emerges from this penetrating biography as a man who spoke for the generation that grew up between the wars, overshadowed by one and matured in another.

Vincent O'Sullivan draws on a large collection of personal papers, official records, and contemporary memoirs for this vivid portrait of a man who remains enduringly fascinating, emblematic of so much in his country and of his time.
