‘A remarkable distillation of a very complex story’ - Tim Shipman 'Extraordinary...This book reminds you of a time when Downing Street was paralysed by self-doubt. You feel almost dirty reading of such failure.' - Quentin Letts, The Times 'If you want to know who did what when and why, this book will tell you. Seldon excels at piecing together how critical decisions came to be made before coming to well-reasoned judgments about their wisdom and impact.' - Andrew Rawnsley, The Observer 'The great value of his book... is that it provides the layman and the historian with a treasure trove of interviews, and of insights from the heart of government.' - The Times 'A fantastic book. It does the incredible job of the historian in showing to outsiders what it was really like on the inside.' - Jeremy Hunt “Casts disturbing light on a prime minister who too often preferred to rule in the comfort of darkness.” - New Statesman
