Diary of a Foreign Minister by Bob Carr

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has a small tear at spine tail, now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are still very good.

Six years after vacating his position as the longest-serving Premier of New South Wales, Bob Carr returned to politics in his dream job: as Foreign Minister of Australia and a senior federal cabinet minister.

For 18 months he kept a diary documenting a whirl of high-stakes events on the world stage – the election of Australia to the UN Security Council, the war in Syria and meetings with the most powerful people on the planet. And they all unfold against the gripping, uncertain domestic backdrop of Labor Party infighting, plummeting polls and a leadership change from Gillard back to Rudd.
