Description: From the surf breaks of Sydney's Northern Beaches to the red heart of the Australian outback, this is the story of Midnight Oil — the fiercely political rock band whose thunderous sound and unflinching activism made them one of the most vital groups of their generation. Tracing the journey from sweaty pub gigs to global stadiums, landmark albums like Diesel and Dust and Blue Sky Mining, and frontman Peter Garrett's improbable leap into federal parliament, this book explores how five determined musicians turned protest into anthem. A stirring tribute to a band who never separated the music from the message, and left their mark etched deep in Australian soil.
