Former Prime Minister and the country's longest-serving Chancellor,
Gordon Brown has been a guiding force for Britain and the world
over three decades. This is his candid, poignant and deeply
relevant story. In describing his upbringing in Scotland as the son
of a minister, the near loss of his eyesight as a student and the
death of his daughter within days of her birth, he shares the
passionately-held principles that have shaped and driven him,
reminding us that politics can and should be a calling to serve.
Reflecting on the personal and ideological tensions within Labour
and its successes and failures in power, he describes how to meet
the challenge of pursuing a radical agenda within a credible party
of government. He explains how as Chancellor he equipped Britain
for a globalised economy while swimming against the neoliberal tide
and shows what more must be done to halt rising inequality. In his
behind-the-scenes account of the financial crisis and his leading
role in saving the world economy from collapse, he addresses the
question of who was to blame for the crash and why its causes and
consequences still beset us. From the invasion of Iraq to the
tragedy of Afghanistan, from the coalition negotiations of 2010 to
the referendums on Scottish independence and Europe, Gordon Brown
draws on his unique experiences to explain Britain's current
fractured condition. And by showing us what progressive politics
has achieved in recent decades, he inspires us with a vision of
what it might yet achieve today. Riveting, expert and highly
personal, this historic memoir is an invaluable insight into our
times.
