N2  - It was a very different Kevin Rudd who returned to office in 2013 to the man who rose to power in 2007. Kevin 07 was a fresh face and a new image: the convivial, Mandarin-speaking nerd who seemed so different from past leaders and who held so much potential; KEVIN RUDD: THE MAKING OF A PRIME MINISTER is an in-depth account of Kevin Rudd's first term in office. Political scientist Patrick Weller has used unparalleled access to Rudd, his staff, friends and family, to create a compelling portrait of a man at the height of his powers. Beginning with Rudd's childhood in rural Queensland, 'Kevin Rudd: The Making of a Prime Minister' examines the people, places and politics that shaped him into the leader he is today. Patrick Weller offers a frank analysis of Kevin Rudd's leadership style and his government's first term in power. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, 'Kevin Rudd: The Making of a Prime Minister' is the definitive political biography of Australia's current leader
