| Summary |
"This powerful book examines the record of the Howard government. In a series of engaging and accessible essays by some of our leading thinkers, it critically assesses how the government has performed on key issues and tracks its larger influence on Australian society. It shows how the 'most conservative leader the Liberal Party has ever had' has re-made, and divided, the nation"--Cover |
