На задната корица:

Alan Clark's diaries, covering two Parliaments during which he served under Margaret Thatcher — until her ousting in a coup which Clark observed closely from the inside — and then under John Major, constitute,the most outspoken and revealing account of British political life ever written. Cabinet colleagues, royalty, ambassadors, civil servants and foreign dignitaries are all subjected to Clark's vivid and often wittily acerbic pen, as he candidly records the daily struggle for ascendancy within the corridors of power.

'Compulsive reading'

Simon Hoggart, The Observer

'In a hundred years' time, it will be opened as Pepys is for the sheer pleasure of which it is a deep well'

Edward Pearce, London Review of Books

'The most brilliant political book I have read in years'

Simon Heffer, Evening Standard

'His diaries are ... malicious, lecherous and self-pitying, and they are enormous fun'

Julian Critchley, Daily Telegraph
