Arguably one of the most meticulously researched and best-written political memoirs of the 20th century, the former British prime minister discusses in detail his rise from a member of Parliament, through to Chancellor of the Exchequer, and then PM in a leadership challenge that he did not even wish to contest. Major's account squares with what any thinking person would have seen during his years in Downing Street, given the numerous inaccuracies of the British press, both tabloid and broadsheet, in quoting 'sources close to the Prime Minister'. It provides greater credibility on the facts that numerous speeches by his predecessor or one of his chancellors. Major is a greater pioneer of compassionate conservatism than the current US president, his formula of social responsibility coupled with conservative freedoms steering the British economy to growth.
