'The political memoir of the decade' Sunday Times The referendum on
Britain's membership of the EU is one of the most controversial
political events of our times. For the first time, the man who
called that vote talks about the decision and its origins, as well
as giving a candid account of his time at the top of British
politics. David Cameron was Conservative Party leader during the
largest financial crash in living memory. The Arab Spring and the
Eurozone crisis both started during his first year as prime
minister. The backdrop to his time in office included the advent of
ISIS, surging migration and a rapidly changing EU. Here he talks
about how he confronted those challenges, from modernising a party
that had suffered three successive electoral defeats to forming the
first coalition government for seventy years. He sets out how he
helped turn around Britain's economy, implementing a modern,
compassionate agenda that included education and welfare reform,
the legalisation of gay marriage, the referendum on Scottish
independence and world-leading environmental policies. David
Cameron is searingly honest about the key players from his time in
politics. And he is frank about himself - the things he got right
and the things he got wrong. He opens up about family life too,
including the tragic loss of his eldest son. We learn why he kept
Britain's promise on overseas aid spending and what it was like to
commit British troops to conflicts in Libya, Iraq and Syria. He
sets out how he won the first outright Conservative majority in
nearly a quarter of a century, and describes the events leading up
to the EU referendum, the renegotiation, the campaign - and his
thoughts on it all today. It is the most compelling record yet of
what it's like to lead in modern times and to live behind the most
famous door in the world.
