The 2010 federal election campaign had more twists, conspiracies and
betrayals than a ripping political thriller. Confessions of a Faceless
Man is the day-by-day account of the campaign by one of Labor's
'faceless men'. Paul Howes, head of the Australian Workers' Union, was
accused of assassinating Kevin Rudd and installing Gillard in the top
job - the King is dead; long live the Queen. Howes writes openly about
his role in the leadership coup and reveals his experience inside
Labor's campaign. In an unashamedly partisan and amusing account,
Confessions of a Faceless Man chronicles the highs and lows, the
stuff-ups, the leaks and the nuts and bolts of a modern Labor election
campaign. This is Howes' first book - an unvarnished, brutally honest,
at times laugh-out-loud account of how Labor won 2010.
