THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UNLIKELY
Book ID/图书代码： 01899513B61494
English Summary/英文概要： Good drinkers, bad swimmers and unlikely heroes
Since Australia’s birth in 1901, twenty-seven politicians have run the national show. Their time at the top has ranged from eight days for Frank Forde to eighteen years for Bob Menzies. But whatever the length of their term, each Prime Minister has a story worth sharing.
Edmund Barton united the bickering states in a federation; Billy Hughes forced US President Woodrow Wilson to take notice of Australia. The unlucky Jimmy Scullin took office days before Wall Street crashed into the Great Depression, while John Curtin faced the ultimate challenge of wartime leadership. John Gorton, Gough Whitlam and Paul Keating each shook up their parties’ policies so vigorously that none lasted much longer than a single term in office.
With characteristic wit and expert knowledge, Mungo MacCallum brings the nation’s leaders to vivid life. The Good, the Bad and the Unlikely tells the tale of the many men and one woman who’ve had a crack at running the country. It is a wonderfully entertaining education.
Mungo MacCallum has long been one of Australia’s most influential and entertaining political journalists, in a career spanning more than four decades. He has worked with the Australian, the Age, the Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald and numerous magazines, as well as the ABC, SBS, Channel Nine and Channel Ten. His books include the bestselling Mungo: The Man Who Laughs, Run Johnny Run: The Story of the 2004 Election and Poll Dancing: The Story of the 2007 Election and Punch & Judy: The Double Disillusion Election of 2010.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 好的饮酒者，糟糕的游泳者以及不太可能的英雄
从1901澳大利亚诞生以来，共产生了27个首相。他们站在国家权力顶端的时间不等，从弗兰克•弗勒的八天到鲍勃•孟席斯的十八年。但无论其任期的长度，每个首相有一个值得分享的故事。
埃德蒙•巴顿把联盟从争吵中团结起来；比利•休斯迫使美国总统伍德罗•威尔逊注意到澳大利亚。倒霉的吉米•斯卡林在华尔街陷入大萧条前几天上任，而约翰•柯廷面临战时的终极领导挑战。约翰•戈顿，惠特拉姆和保罗•基廷每个人都让他们的政党如此震惊，以至于没有哪一个时期总统能任职这么长时间。
通过独特的机智和专家的知识，蒙哥•麦卡勒姆把国家领导人带进鲜活的生活里。《好的、坏的或者不确定的》讲述了许多男人和一个女人管理国家的故事。这是一个奇妙有趣的教育。
在他在超过四十年的职业生涯中，蒙哥•麦卡勒姆一直是澳大利亚最有影响力和最有趣的政治记者。他曾和澳大利亚报，时代报，金融评论，悉尼先驱晨报等众多杂志合作过，还有以及ABC，SBS，第九频道，十频道。他的畅销书籍包括：《笑的人——约翰尼•润》、《2004年选举和民意摇晃的故事》、《2007年大选Punch和Judy的故事》以及《2010年选举的双重幻灭》。(LNL)
