Lazarus Rising Howard

John Howard served as Australia's 25th Prime Minister for eleven years, making him the second-longest serving PM in the nation's history. This is his story in his own words — from a middle-class Sydney childhood to the Lodge, through the battles over economic reform, gun control, immigration, and the War on Terror. Howard doesn't shy away from the controversies: WorkChoices, the GST, "children overboard", the decision to join the Iraq War. Love him or loathe him, his impact on modern Australia is undeniable. Written with characteristic bluntness, this memoir offers insight into the man behind the policies and the inner workings of power during one of Australia's most transformative eras. For anyone who wants to understand the Howard years — not through the media lens, but straight from the source.
