Book description
In the second instalment of his not inconsiderably Secret Diary, John Major again takes us behind the scenes of the great adventure known as Majorism.
Stamping his personality with due prudence on the events of the day, John Major offers an in no way negligible insight into one of the most turbulent eras in recent political life.
From the high points of the General Election and the Creation of the Citizen’s Charter to the low points of the Pit closures and the Maastricht Rebellion; from Norma Lamont leaving the ERM to Norma Lamont leaving Threshers; from the Superglue Affair to David Mellor’s Affair and on to the Prime Minister’s Non-affair.
All this and a quantifiable amount more comes alive, as the in no small measure larger-than-life character that is the Prime Minister tells the whole story.
It is in his judgement almost as exciting as a novel by his friend Lord Archer.
