Six years after vacating his position as the longest-serving Premier ofNew South Wales, Bob Carr returned to politics in his dream job: asForeign Minister of Australia and a senior federal cabinet minister. For 18 months he kept a diary documenting a whirl of high-stakesevents on the world stage the election of Australia to the UN SecurityCouncil, the war in Syria and meetings with the most powerful peopleon the planet. And they all unfold against the gripping, uncertaindomestic backdrop of Labor Party infighting, plummeting polls and aleadership change from Gillard back to Rudd. This compelling diary provides an intimate glimpse into the day-to-dayworkings of a foreign minister and proves that Carr is not only a masterpolitician and statesman, but a great writer as well. |
