A frank, gripping and moving - and controversial - autobiography from
one of the most idiosyncratic and effective politicians of the last
fifty years. His political convictions, his distance from New Labour,
and his direct, plain-speaking style and personality have allowed him
to survive longer than any of his contemporaries as a man of principle
and influence.
From his eccentric South London working class childhood to running one
of the biggest cities in the world, Livingstone is one of the very few
politicians to have scored a major victory over the Thatcher
Government and has championed issues as diverse as the environment,
gay rights and anti-racism.
Written in Livingstone's unmistakable voice, by turns angrily sincere
about social justice, wickedly droll and gossipy, and surprisingly
wistful about people he has known and loved, this is a hugely
important and remarkable book from one of the very few respected
politicians at work today.
