Most politicians write autobiographies to 'set the record
straight'. This is a different sort of memoir. Following his life
as a self-confessed 'wet European' from parliament to Hong Kong and
beyond, Chris Patten creates a meditation on personal and political
identity which, in an age of simplification, shows the complexities
of both. 'A defence of liberal conservatism ... If old-style
centrism is to stage a comeback and reason to supplant stridency
and authoritarianism, be it in west or east, the moderates can wave
Patten's book on their way to their barricades' Jonathan Fenby,
Financial Times 'Vivid, very well-written, First Confession joins
the highest tier of recent works by British politicians' Paschal
Donohoe, Irish Times 'Draws on his experience of four controversial
institutions - the Tory party, the Vatican, the Chinese government
and the BBC - to swell the tiny list of intelligent and cultured
memoirs by front-line politicians' Mark Lawson, New Statesman,
