Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 192076979X, Paperback)In the 1990s, Paul Keating and John Howard altered Australia's predictable economic script of bust, boom, and bust. This insider's look at Australian politics suggests that, despite their competing visions for Australia, Keating and Howard are the twin architects of the political, economic, and social revolution that has brought Australia to an era of unprecedented affluence. Not only is this the story of how an era came to be defined by two men, but it is also the larger tale of how Australia became a more complex society, as well as an important analysis of the forces that shape Australia today.

This is a very even-handed book, with the author mainly letting the two main 'characters' - Keating and Howard - speak for themselves, often allowing them to to show their own mendacity and backflips.
A book that should be read by all Australian in the lead up to the election. Sadly, most Australians would care about, let alone understand, the message in this book. (
