The Howard Factor: A Decade That Changed the Nation edited by Nick Cater

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Minor mark on inside front cover. Creasing to covers. Body text and binding are still very good.

John Howard's victory over Paul Keating in 1996 was the start of a quiet revolution that changed Australia forever. His critics told us he was a white picket fence conservative, Little Johnny, Lazarus with a triple bypass. Instead, Howard has driven a decade of reform, reinventing conservative politics and redefining the national debate.

In this long-overdue assessment of the Howard years, some of The Australian's leading commentators chart the seismic shift in politics, society, workplaces, culture, the economy, trade, and foreign affairs. They describe how Howard has redrawn the political map, turning the Conservatives into reformers. (back cover)
