THE UNMISSABLE, UNVARNISHED MEMOIRS OF BORIS JOHNSONA BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES, TELEGRAPH, TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES'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 BritainaEURO (TM)s prime minister included a landmark career as a journalist, two terms as LondonaEURO (TM)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 aEURO~Get Brexit DoneaEURO (TM) aEURO" 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 aEURO" 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 aEURO" the reality as he saw it: unvarnished, unlocked, unleashed.
