Summary
- 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.
- ‘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

Review
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*
If you want to better understand the catastrophe that has been our government since 2010, or you just want to bask in Stewart's beautifully formulated prose, read this book ― New Statesman, *Books of the Year*
A brilliant insider's account of the Cameron-May-Johnson years ― FT, *Books of the Year*
It is the sheer sharpness, originality and truth-telling grace of Stewart's prose, along with the vital importance of his subject, that makes his new book a truly exceptional political autobiography, both a pleasure to read, and a vital wake-up call ― Scotsman, *Books of the Year*
Full of sharp observations and often funny… a portrait of a country where power is wielded by empty careerists, working in a broken system ― Financial Times, *Books of the Year*
Beautifully written... You glimpse how transformative government could be -- Gaby Hinsliff ― Guardian, *Books of the Year*
A fascinating account of power, corruption and lies ― i, *Books of the Year*
Stewart writes beautifully and is brilliant at describing both the theatre and insanity of life in politics ― Daily Express, *Books of the Year*
[Stewart's] memoir of his time in politics is valuable as a slice of entertainment, as an enjoyably catty takedown of his former colleagues, and as perhaps the most helpful recent account of the failings of the British state… a valuable contribution to the historical record ― Sunday Times, *Political Book of the Year*
The moral and technical seriousness of this book should not be ignored: in his time in parliamentary politics, Stewart discovered a lot that needs mending―and he has plenty of ideas for doing so ― Prospect, *Books of the Year*
