Publishers Description: In John Winston Howard, a frank and engrossing portrait of the recent Prime Minister, Wayne Errington and Peter van Onselen contend that John Howard is the first professional politician the country has seen who has left a deep and lasting impact on modern politics, government and the country. For the first time ever, in unprecedented and extensive interviews conducted by the authors with Howards family, friends, political supporters and detractors, we get a rare insight into the man and the government he ran. The result is a portrait of how Team Howard operated, and why it was so successful. John Winston Howard is a revealing study of the nature of modern politics, and of how dirty the game can get. Crucially, it offers an insightful understanding of the John Howard who lies - and is mostly missed - between the public vitriol and the ungainly praise that passes as analysis.
