A visionary leader who believes that national strength abroad begins at home, John Howard provides a vision for the economic future and a look at global leadership in turbulent times.
During his four terms as prime minister of Australia, John Howard's leadership in global economic, social and political matters positioned his country as a driving principal force on the world stage. A pragmatic reformer who challenged the collective thinking of the political establishment, Howard is a leader of courage and conviction, unafraid to make difficult decisions in the face of political expediency. Always candid in his strong views on national security, Howard discusses the need to build stability in less-fortunate countries, maintain strong international relationships with allies and manage immigration as key factors in strengthening security. Howard looks to the future in detailing steps for handling emerging economic and political powers—on both the Pacific Rim and around the world. He is the author of Lazarus Rising: A Personal and Political Autobiography. In January 2012, Queen Elizabeth II appointed Howard as a member of the Order of Merit.
