Cameron said that his aim in writing the book was to "correct the record" where he thought it was wrong. It covers his decision to call the 2016 referendum on the UK's European Union membership and its outcome, which led him to quit as Prime Minister and as MP for Witney two months later. It also describes the Scottish independence referendum and his reforms to economy, welfare and education. His controversial foreign policy is mentioned, as is the 2013 legalisation of same-sex marriage under his government.
