The story of an ordinary bloke who changed the face of a nation. This is the biography of Jack Mundey, the union leader and activist who spearheaded the green bans movement in 1970s Australia. From saving historic buildings to preserving urban green spaces, Mundey's actions reshaped cities and sparked lasting political and legal reforms.

The House That Jack Built explores Mundey's journey from a rural upbringing to becoming a key figure in urban conservation. It examines the unlikely alliances he forged between environmentalists and union workers, and his lasting impact on Australian society. Discover the story of a man who proved that community action can triumph over unchecked development.

This is a must-read for those interested in Australian history, urban planning, and the power of grassroots movements.
