The most anticipated political memoir of the year. A frank account from National MP Judith Collins of the highs and lows of a political life. From humble beginnings as the daughter of Labour-voting farming parents, Judith Collins has carved a path to almost the very top of politi...cs. The youngest daughter of older parents, Judith Collins grew up in rural Walton, Waikato on a dairy farm. At the age of 10 she entered politics, running for Class President. She won. After a successful career as a lawyer, Collins became the MP for Papakura in 2002, alongside fellow new recruit, John Key. When Key and National won office in 2008, Collins became the Minister for Police, Corrections and Veterans. Funny, forthright and fearless, Collins reveals the truth behind what it is like to survive - and thrive - as a senior female politician for two decades.

One morning on the outskirts of Damascus, two starving friends are walking through their desolate city and come across a familiar street that has been turned to rubble, concrete bridges towering above them like tombs and houses turned inside out. Aeham turns to the only comfort h...e has left and pushes his piano into the street to play a song of hope to his fellow Syrians. It is a song that will reach far beyond the streets of his home and carry consequences he could never have dreamed of. This tender and poetic account of Aeham's experiences, from losing his city, friends and family to leaving his country and finding safety, will move readers with its raw and candid emotion. This is a gripping portrait of a man's search for solace and of a country that has been fiercely torn apart.

Bolton's account starts with his long march to the West Wing as Trump and
others woo him for the National Security job. The minute he lands, he has to
deal with Syria's chemical attack on the city of Douma, and the crises after
that never stop. As he says in the opening pages,... "If you don't like
turmoil, uncertainty, and risk; all the while being constantly overwhelmed
with information, decisions to be made, and sheer amount of work; and
enlivened by international and domestic personality and ego conflicts beyond
description, try something else." The conflicts, ego and otherwise, are all
there-from the upheaval in Venezuela, to the erratic and manipulative moves
of North Korea's Kim Jong Un. But so too is the story of a chaotic White
House and of a President with his own set a rules. "The differences between
this presidency and previous ones I had served were stunning," writes
Bolton, who served Reagan, and George HW Bush and George W. Bush. His
account makes that clear.
