John Winston Howard is a frank and engrossing portrait of the Prime Minister. For the first time, in unprecedented interviews with the Howard family, friends, political supporters, and detractors, we gain a rare insight into the man and the government he led.

Wayne Errington and Peter van Onselen contend that John Howard is the first professional politician the country has seen, and assess the impact he has made on modern politics, government and the country.

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 between the public vitriol and the ungainly praise that passes as analysis. (book flap)
