When we were young & foolish: A memoir of my misguided youth with Tony Abbott, Bob Carr, Malcolm Turnbull, Kevin Rudd & other reprobates Greg Sheridan

Allen & Unwin, pp.366, $34.99, ISBN: 9781760113391

If you enjoy reading Greg Sheridan’s Diaries in this magazine, you’ll love this book. The author, a 30-year veteran journalist at the Australian, has his eyes and ears perpetually on the alert for what makes future political figures interesting – or what made them foolish in their younger days. I had the great pleasure of working with Sheridan for the best part of a decade, so I’d already heard some of his stories.
