Based on the author's exclusive access to Bob Carr's diaries, this book will take readers on a roller-coaster ride of political intrigue of the Australian Labor leader. It is an honest, frank account of a politician's career with all its ups and downs, spiced with Carr's own humour, opinions and frank discourse with his State and Federal colleagues. Since a landslide second-term victory in 1999, Carr has become a major force in Australian politics.
