“Set in Queensland during the 1920s against a background of corruption, strikes and union bashing, this dramatic political novel features a cast of rogues, opportunists and idealists. Thinking they can make a difference, Jack O’Leary and his union, the ARU, face two very powerful opponents of the ALP.”

I bought a copy of Union Jack at the BLHA AGM on Saturday. Just finished reading it, and I write to say congratulations and thanks for a thoroughly interesting and moving story. Some of the subject matter was familiar to me, and it was quite intriguing to get your take on it ...  it was interesting to meet McCormack and Theodore once again, at a later stage of their careers. - Errol O'Neill (2011)

The telling of the story of Dale Jacobsen's grandfather combines history and good story telling. - Greg Mallory (2011)

While it is important to make every effort to record the details of our history with great accuracy, Dale Jacobsen's Union Jack shows quite clearly that there are moments when those details can be blended into a captivating and thoroughly enjoyable read. The arrival of this book is indeed one of those rare moments. - Tony Reeves (2011)

Union Jack arrived in Monday's mail: I dropped everything and read it in two sittings. Congratulations. It was most enjoyable. - Kett Kennedy (2011)
