Sir Owen Dixon (1886-1972) was Australia's most eminent judge. This biography presents a narrative that seamlessly integrates both the private and professional figure. It also reveals what was happening at the commanding heights of politics and law in Australia across much of the twentieth century.

Australia's most eminent judge was regarded as the greatest exponent of the common law of his generation anywhere in the world. Through his private diaries, the author gives the text a strong sense of momentum, interiority and continuing drama. He focuses on the most interesting cases and involves the reader closely regarding his trips and wartime.

Philip Ayres is Associate Professor of English Literature at Monash University and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, London. A meticulous researcher and experienced biographer, his previous books include Mawson: A Life, Malcolm Fraser: A Biography, and Classical Culture and the Idea of Rome in Eighteenth Century England.
