THE UNMISSABLE, UNVARNISHED MEMOIRS OF BORIS JOHNSON

‘ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY, MIND-BLOWINGLY EXPLOSIVE’ ED BALLS

'SENSATIONAL' DAILY MAIL

Boris Johnson has always been larger than life. Controversial, untrammelled by the normal rules of politics, his route to becoming Britain’s prime minister included a landmark career as a journalist, two terms as London’s mayor, leading the Vote Leave Brexit campaign and acting as foreign secretary. He won the largest Tory majority since 1987 when he went to the polls in December 2019 for a mandate to ‘Get Brexit Done’ – only to have his administration hit by the global Covid pandemic and toppled in a Tory putsch.

Unleashed is his account of his time in politics, and a book that shatters the mould of the modern prime ministerial memoir. Written in his inimitable style, it is honest, unrestrained and deeply revealing about the politician who has dominated our times.

This is his story of the fifteen years since he trounced Ken Livingstone at the polls to become mayor of London. Riots, tackling knife crime, bikes, buses, the London Olympics, and so much more. He writes about his role in Brexit, takes readers through all the big decisions and his reasons for taking them, and describes how he nearly died from Covid.

Underlying everything in the book is his view that the UK is an extraordinary country and should have an exceptional future. These are the reflections of a political leader who believes fundamentally in levelling up – that there are millions of people in Britain who do not have the present they need or the future they deserve, and that it is the first job of politicians to put this right.

It is all here. From soup to nuts, warts and all. As a journalist he was famed as a blurter of unsayable truths, and he has drawn again on this quality for the book. About people, policies, mistakes and triumphs. This is it – the reality as he saw it: unvarnished, unlocked, unleashed.

Review

‘Johnson writes better than any other politician – his memoir is proof… Unleashed is incomparably more readable than a standard political memoir…A breezy Wodehousian persona wafts the reader along’

TELEGRAPH

‘Authentically amusing…he writes with energy and originality’

THE TIMES

‘A racy, charming and sometimes thought-provoking romp… teasingly settling a few scores with the likes of his former Downing Street advisers Dominic Cummings and Lee Cain, and ― the Iago of the tale ― Rishi Sunak. A rattling yarn in his own terms… he takes the reader inside his own doubts, uncertainties and ― distinctly qualified ― insecurities’

FINANCIAL TIMES

‘This is a box of Turkish Delight as addictive as the White Witch’s in Narnia. I defy anyone to finish the book without smiles constantly breaking out, and without having to acknowledge there is actually something heroic – often chaotic, but still heroic – about the man’s determination to champion Britain’s virtues’

Nothing more than a repeat of every lie he ever told.It could be a lesson in who we let run the country, but I won’t get my hopes up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boris at his best

M. · 13 October 2024

This is a thoroughly entertaining book written in exactly the style which you would expect from the author. I disagree with many of his policy decisions but respect the conviction which he shows in many of his assertions. The author is flawed in many ways but there is an authenticity to his writing which is persuasive and compelling. He is a unique political figure, a colossus among the nonentities who disfigure the party which he served.

Enormous book, fitted in my collection at sixth place, squeezed between David Cameron and Max Hastings. Compelling, Amusing and Bland as you'd expect. Great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read from one of the best writers in politics.
