Lazarus Rising: A Personal and Political Autobiography

HarperCollins, Australia, 2010. First Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. New, updated version of the bestselling political biography of 2010. This edition is revised and contains some completely new content from Mr Howard, including his thoughts on the recent NSW elections, the current state of the two main political parties in Australia and major events on the international scene. John Howard's autobiography, Lazarus Rising, is the biggest-selling political memoir Australia has seen. In it he talks about his love for his family, his rollercoaster ride to the Lodge and how - as prime minister - he responded to issues like climate change and the war on terrorism. Drawing on his deep interest in history, he paints a fascinating picture of a changing Australia. In this new revised edition, he also analyses the cataclysmic lead-up to the 2010 election and the vexed political paradigm that emerged. From the future prospects of the Greens and Independents to the performance of Barnaby Joyce, Howard pulls no punches. No stranger to power struggles himself, he is uniquely qualified to note the remaking of the Nationals, decode tony Abbott's strategies and understand the pressures facing Julia Gillard and the comeback prospects of Kevin Rudd.
