Lazarus Rising

Autobiography of Australia's second-longest-serving PM.

If you're intrigued by the melding of personal grit with political history, "Lazarus Rising" could strike a chord with you. It's not just a political memoir; it's a reflective journey through Australia's transformation from the lens of a man who faced his own battles before conquering the national stage. Honest, detailed, and brimming with the personal anecdotes that flesh out the man behind the prime ministerial title, this book promises to give you a deeper understanding of both the leader and the country he served.
