Celebrating the 100
th
Anniversary of the birth of Bartholomew (Bob) Augustine Santamaria:
B.A. Santamaria: Your Most Obedient Servant: Selected Letters 1938 – 1996
Edited by Patrick Morgan
Bob Santamaria was involved in Australian public life from before World War II until his death in 1998. His letters
reveal facets of his personality and activities that the public was not fully aware of in his lifetime. He began as an
agent and champion of the Catholic Church, and was a key figure in Australian politics, namely the ALP-DLP
Split in the 1950s. He also ran a lesser known anti-Communist Movement throughout Asia for decades, at the
same time as his Australian Movement. The political activist and journalist Santamaria spent much of his last
decades opposing the current activities of the Catholic Church. Spanning more than sixty years, this selection of letters to
friends and members of the public reveals a person more subtle in his views than his public persona would suggest. 'Your Most
Obedient Servant' is a rare glimpse into a mind that was preoccupied on a daily basis with world events and ideological
controversies.

B.A. Santamaria: Running the Show: Selected Letters 1939 – 1996
Edited by Patrick Morgan
(Bob) Santamaria was perhaps the most controversial figure in recent Australian politics. Over his long,
distinguished and influential career, writing was always a key part of his political activity—on every matter of
importance to him he turned out exhaustive analyses and rejoinders.
Running the Show
features some of the
many unpublished documents Santamaria produced during his six decades of continuous public activity. It
includes:
speeches, strategic papers, reports to his superiors, memos to politicians, positions papers, personal
statements, aides-mémoire and political analyses. Running the Show
brings together a selection of documents written by B.A.
Santamaria, and throws new light on a number of crucial episodes in his career.
In the poet James McAuley’s words, he ‘set a
match against the age’s mind’.
