Memoirs of a former Prime Minister

 



Very good condition. PB. First edition. 224pp. $15 including postage anywhere in Australia.

This book is so well-written. Refreshingly honest. I wrote about it in Crikey once ...

"The manifesto Abbott set out in his book was far more progressive and mainstream than he is known for, and certainly more inclusive than many policies he pursued during his short term as PM. And far more attractively presented."

The late Bob Ellis, whom Abbott once successfully sued for defamation, writes ...

" ... Tony Abbott, can write really well, with lucidity, mischief, moral persuasiveness and a kind of jovial dignity like his fellow Oxonian blow-in Bill Clinton. A first-class boxer, he has an unbroken nose, a truly impressive achievement in one so ideologically combative.

He writes really well; yet I wish he had told us more."
