520 $aIt was a very different Kevin Rudd two returned to office in 2013. Kevin 07 was a fresh face and a new image, so different from past leaders, and who held so much potential. By 2013 Rudd retained some of his popularity, but none of his novelty. His second term was to be short, brutal and nasty. This book has the advantage of interviews in 2008 and 2009 with ministers who were then supporters but who became diehard enemies. This biography is a revealing account of the man who became prime minister - twice.
