The searing inside story of our broken politics from the former Cabinet minister and co-host of The Rest Is Politics.
'The most exceptional political memoir I've ever read'
ALAN JOHNSON
'An instant classic'
MARINA HYDE
'At last a politician who can write'
SEBASTIAN FAULKS
Over the course of a decade, Rory Stewart went from being a political outsider to standing for prime minister - before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise.
Uncompromising, honest and darkly humorous, this is his story of the challenges, absurdities and realities of political life. Instantly praised as a new classic, it is an astonishing portrait of our turbulent times.

Rezension:
There's no denying that Rory Stewart stands almost alone among British politicians: he's one of a handful who can actually turn a phrase. That talent is put to good use here - no other account of how Cameron Toryism curdled into May and Johnson is likely to be as evocative or amusing as this one The Times, _The Times Political Book of the Year_
