The Costello Memoirs by Peter Costello with Peter Coleman

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are still excellent.

In his political memoirs, Peter Costello, the fiscal conservative and social progressive, the architect of the GST who eliminated public-sector debt and who supported a republic and Reconciliation, reflects on more than 30 years of service to the Liberal cause.

Costello offers insight into his successful partnership with John Howard, which led to four election victories and the longest period of economic prosperity in Australian history. He reveals how and why, despite a booming economy, the Liberals suffered a devastating defeat in 2007.

In a unique literary partnership, Peter Costello collaborates with Peter Coleman, a former member of Parliament and editor of the Bulletin and Quadrant, who also happens to be his father-in-law.
