In Lazarus Rising, John Howard talks about his love for his family, his roller coaster ride to the Lodge and how - as prime minister - he managed a strongly growing Australian economy and led Australia’s war on terrorism. Drawing on his deep interest in history, he paints a fascinating picture of a changing Australia.
In this edition, fully updated to take into account the return of the Liberal National Party to government after the 2013 election, Howard analyses the crucial years between the 2010 election which gave rise to the minority government of Julia Gillard, and the consequent unprecedented and destabilising leadership struggles within the Labour Party. He discusses the significance of Tony Abbott’s achievements in defeating the Labour Government in 2013, and provides a masterful summary of the legacy of the Rudd/Gillard years for Australia.
