John Winston HowardMelbourne Univ. Publishing, 2007 - 458 halaman A portrait of one of Australia's longest-serving prime ministers, this biography goes behind the public image to find neither the strong-willed man of principle his supporters like to imagine nor the cunning opportunist painted by his foes.
