About this ebook

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.

Not just a political page turner but his narrative is engaging, he takes you with him on his journey, you are transported with him to Afghanistan working with the people to rebuild using historical crafts to the Eden value, expertly weaving in the politics of our times. I think readers whether apolitical, left or right, will take something from this. It is enthralling and educating. I've read the sample now I'm going to buy it.

Not a biography of Rod Stewart - bought by mistake. Thought this was a biography of the legendary musical artist, Rod Stewart. In fact it's a book about some politician named Rory Stewart, not really my sort of thing at all. I haven't read it, apart from the first few pages (when I realised my mistake). Is it possible to get a refund or exchange for a book that is about Rod Stewart? Thanks.
