Looking for Leadership: Australia in the Howard Years
Donald Horne
In his path-breaking The Lucky CountryDonald Horne wrote a text for the times as they seemed in the age of Robert Gordon Menzies. In Looking for Leadershiphe writes of the distractions and quandaries of ordinary Australians at a time when political leadership has drifted away to languish in what he calls John Howard's Dreamtime. In a unique presentation of Australians as people of great potential waiting to resume history, Horne gives a masterly picture of a prime minister lost in events in a society rich in possibilities. Looking for Leadershipis a multi-layered book, a mixture of astute analysis and warm personal recollection. It is energising and forward-looking, informed and informative, written with human sympathy, wit and intellectual bite by one of Australia's most respected social commentators.
