Helen Clark has become one of the most powerful women in the world, rising as head of the UN Development Program to the number-three ranked position in that organisation, and a serious candidate as the replacement for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. So what drives Helen Clark? In this #1 bestselling unauthorised biography, investigative journalist and author Ian Wishart unearths the real Clark, the one who turned around her own nation New Zealand but always had her gaze fixed on a higher goal. Does she have a lust for absolute power? What's her vision for the planet? These questions and more are answered in Absolute Power.

The Helen Clark we see today is a carefully manufactured, airbrushed political brand. She's also New Zealand's most powerful politician, ever. Absolute Power strips away the fa??ade to find what makes the real Helen Clark tick, and explores the track record of a government that boasted it would bring a new age of "frugality and integrity", and an end to "cronyism, sleaze and dishonesty". Absolute Power is not just about what happened publicly and what played out on the news each night. It is much more about what was going on behind the scenes - the power plays, the dirty tricks, the Machiavellian maneuvers. The bits the daily media missed. Lord Acton once wrote that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and that the great "are almost always bad". Is Helen Clark the exception to that rule?
