Dark Victory: The Military Campaign to RE-Elect the Prime Minister

Dark Victory: The Military Campaign to RE-Elect the Prime Minister

by David Marr (Author), Marian Wilkinson (Author)

Synopsis

Award-winning writer David Marr and investigative journalist Marian Wilkinson burrow deep into the world of spin-doctors, bureaucrats and the military to reveal the whole story, play by play - from the stricken asylum seekers' first sight of the red dot on the horizon that was the Tampa to John Howard singing the national anthem at his election victory celebrations. This book aims to bring to light the manipulation of the public, the mutability of the press and the machinations of one government in its all-consuming lust for power.
