World is Almost at Peace is the songwriting memoir of Rob Hirst, drummer and songwriter of Midnight Oil, and it is the book he was working on when he died in early 2026.
Part memoir, part complete lyric catalogue, it goes back through a lifetime of songs, from Midnight Oil to the Ghostwriters and the Backsliders, and breaks the writing down line by line, with input from bandmates Jim Moginie and Peter Garrett. There are early drafts, unseen photographs and the stories behind Beds Are Burning, The Dead Heart and more.
A generous, closely made book for anyone who grew up on the Oils.
For readers of Don Walker's Shots and Paul Kelly's How to Make Gravy.
