John Howard (12) (1939–)

John Howard writes competently and authoritatively about his favourite PM. His own politics intrude less often than one might expect, and that's creditable. But it's still a textbook. The sort of book you keep on your shelf and read a chapter a month, or dip into for references. In hardback version, it's also a 707-page tome that made my hands ache at each sitting.

So far an interesting read a well written in such a way that enables you to learn from his life lessons.
