The Journals of Woodrow Wyatt. Volume Two. Thatcher's Fall and Major's Rise.

London England: Macmillan, 1999. Hardback. First Edition. Very slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. Margaret Thatcher's fall from power is the dramatic core of this second volume of Woodrow Wyatts' sensational memoirs, covering the years 1989 until the election in 1992. Through Wyatt's indignant eyes, we see the overthrow of the woman he believes to be the best possible prime minister for Britain. At the height of the Tory leadership crisis he speaks to her on a daily basis while urging senior ministers and newspaper moguls to be loyal to her. After her fall, writing his regular columns in The Times and News of the World, he continues to have the ear of politicians and he acts as a bridge between his fallen idol and John Major's administration. These journals present a completely new perspective on these momentous events and the atmosphere at the time. Woodrow Wyatt continues to comment with total frankness on the foibles of his friends, watches them fall in and out of love, wines and dines politicians, royalty, journalists, aristocrats - like the lord he is and the millionaire he is not. In these journals, he reveals himself nakedly, sharing his beliefs and achievements, his self-doubts and failures, with an unusual zest and honesty. Illustrated. 734 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
