Far from the "grey man" of popular myth, John Major emerges from this illuminating portrait as a knowing political operator, a quixotic and passionate personality, and an authoritative member of the exclusive club of world leaders.

This is the inside story of Britain's most misunderstood prime minister, as well as a definitive work on British politics in the 1990s.
