Love him or loathe him, John Howard was undeniably one of our country's most successful prime ministers. Now he's coming to Boffins to sign copies of his autobiography Lazarus Rising, newly updated in paperback to include his keen political insights into the contentious 2010 Federal election and its chaotic aftermath.
The political and cultural echoes of John Howard's leadership will be felt in Australia for many years to come. Don't miss this chance to meet John - and maybe fit in a question or two.
About Lazarus Rising: 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 illegal immigration 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 pulls no punches in analysing the cataclysmic lead-up to the 2010 election and the vexed political paradigm that emerged. From the carbon tax and the future prospects of the Greens and Independents to the contribution of Barnaby Joyce, Howard ranges freely across the contemporary political scene. Essential reading for all followers of politics.
