description: This work focuses on the main events of Lord Irvine's life, such as his studies at Cambridge, his career as a barrister, his unsuccessful attempt in 1970 to get elected to Parliament, his affair with, and eventual marriage to, Alison Dewar (then the wife of current Scottish Secretary Donald Dewar), his time as pupil master to Tony Blair and Cherie Booth, becoming Lord Chancellor, and his performance as Lord Chancellor to date, including the series of gaffes that caused him to be vilified in the press. Crucially, the book looks behind the public persona and reveals and explains Lord Irvine's complex personality and how certain character traits are at the root of some of the problems he has experienced during his time as Lord Chancellor.
