500 Days - The Shelf Life of Malcolm Turnbull (Paperback)

Malcolm Turnbull had scaled the heights of power in Australian law and business, where his self-confidence, style and towering intellect left him with almost as many enemies as millions in the bank. He had been on the margins of political power for decades, but was yet to master the most important skill in Australian politics. Taking over a parliamentary party in opposition, Turnbull's greatest challenge wasn't a prime minister with record popularity but a Liberal Party utterly dysfunctional when not in government. '500 Days' takes readers inside the office of the leader of the opposition as the financial markets melt down, the Ozcar affair explodes, and the right-wing Liberals take back their party. '500 Days' reveals why one of the most talented individuals ever to enter parliament failed to reach his lifelong goal.
