Looking for Leadership: Australia in the Howard Years by Donald Horne

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Slight fading to spine top. Pages are sunned.

In his path-breaking The Lucky Country, Donald Horne wrote a text for the times as they seemed in the age of Robert Gordon Menzies. In Looking For Leadership he writes of the distractions and quandaries of ordinary Australians at a time when political leadership has drifted away to languish in what he calls 'John Howard's Dreamtime'. In a unique presentation of Australians as a people of great potential waiting to resume their history, Horne gives a masterly picture of a prime minister lost in events in a society rich in possibilities.
