Churchill and Australia (Graham Freudenberg, Pan Macmillan) has won the 2009 Walkley Nonfiction Book Award.

The award, announced last Thursday 26 November, recognises ‘excellence in nonfiction literature and long-form journalism'.

The Walkley Foundation said the book was ‘written with extraordinary narrative verve'. ‘Relying on exhaustive research and a true insider's knowledge of the political world, this is history written at its compelling best; Freudenberg captures the blood and the tears, the love and the loathing.'

Also shortlisted for the award were The Mother of Mohammed (Sally Neighbour, MUP) and Firepower (Gerard Ryle, A&U).
