November 2008, one year after their devastating federal election defeat, the Liberal Party remains in disarray. Peter van Onselen, the co-author of John Winston Howard- The Definitive Biography and Howard's End, has put together a vibrant collection of essays that offers policy analysis, political philosophy and election-winning strategies. They look at Howard's reign and legacy, and craft a narrative for the future. Liberals and Power is compelling reading for anyone interested in a healthy party political system and a robust democratic state.
Dr Peter van Onselen has frequently appeared in the media as a political commentator, panellist, contributing editor, host and print journalist. His book on former Prime Minister John Howard became a best seller, and he was recently appointed Winthrop Professor and Foundation Chair of Journalism at the University of Western Australia
