Advice from journalist Mungo MacCallum to a (ficticious) nephew about embarking on a politcal career.

I once saw someone reading this book on the train and laughing out loud. Ever since then I've been intrigued, so when I saw it I had to buy it.

I read this book at the end of last year and really enjoyed it. I also laughed out loud in some places, while I was reading on the train! I had to stop reading it because I thought the man sitting next to me would think I was really nutty!

The 'advice' that Uncle Mungo gives his ficticious nephew really rings true and he gives lots of examples from Australia's political history - both recent and distant.

I am going to lend this book to a colleague who I think will enjoy it!
