The second volume of Alan Clark’s bestselling DIARIES, covering the downfall of Margaret Thatcher
The first volume of Alan Clark’s diaries, covering two Parliaments during which he served under Margaret Thatcher – until her ousting in a coup which Clark observed closely from the inside – and then under John Major, constitute the most outspoken and revealing account of British political life ever written. Cabinet colleagues, royalty, ambassadors, civil servants and foreign dignitaries are all subjected to Clark’s vivid and often wittily acerbic pen, as he candidly records the daily struggle for ascendancy within the corridors of power.
