How To Be A Megalomaniac Or, Advice To A Young Politician

Upon hearing that his nephew had chosen to enter politics, Mungo decided to impart his advice on how to succeed in politics, from choice of party through media manipulation and back-stabbing, to elevation to the prime ministership.

Illustrated by plentiful examples drawn from a lifetime's close observation of Australian politics, (particularly the Hawke-Keating-Howard years), Mungo's tongue-in-cheek advice throughout is by turn wise and cynical, and always very funny.

This book is enlivened by specially commissioned cartoons from Patrick Cook.
