Mannix
Mannix, by Brenda Niall, delves into the life of Daniel Mannix, who served as Archbishop of Melbourne from 1917 until his passing, aged ninety-nine, in 1963. Mannix was a towering figure in Melbourne's Catholic community, but his political interventions also had a profound effect on the wider Australian nation.
Award-winning biographer Brenda Niall has uncovered some unexpected discoveries in Irish and Australian archives, which overturn several widely held views. She also draws on her own memories of meeting and interviewing Mannix to capture the essence of this man of contradictions, controversies, and mystery.
