Professor of Politics at the University of Sydney John Keane -- who has written a biography of Vaclav Havel -- has told SBS World News Australia Presenter Anton Enus that he doesn't accept the widely held view that the Czech statesman had been a reluctant politician.
Havel Vaclav, president of Czechoslovakia from 1989 to 1992 and of its successor Czech Republic from 1993 to 2003, died aged 75 after a long battle with respiratory illness -- a legacy of the five years he spent in communist jails.
