Major: A Political Life

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. For the last three years of his government, John Major allowed historian Anthony Seldon unprecedented access to research his political life. This is the inside story of Britain's most misunderstood prime minister, as well as a definitive work on British politics in the 1990s.
