Review:
`Naughtie has written, with fine, elegant cadences, native wit and golden insights, a double biography of this Government which tells us a lot and which will last longer, I suspect, than the marriage at its heart.' Andrew Marr, Daily Telegraph `Beautifully written...Naughtie has come as close as anyone to an accurate reading, of what, precisely, happened in the 1994 leadership contest.' Sunday Telegraph `Engaging...illuminating.' Paul Routledge, Spectator `The most digestible political book of recent times. The narrative races along, the anecdotes illuminate the drama and the urgent prose style creates the "I was there" impression that always adds excitement to adventure stories.' Roy Hattersley, Guardian
