As a small boy in Epping Forest, Jack Straw could never have
imagined that one day he would become Britain's Lord Chancellor. As
one of five children of divorced parents, he was bright enough to
get a scholarship to a direct-grant school, but spent his holidays
as a plumbers' mate for his uncles to bring in some much-needed
extra income. Yet he spent 13 years and 11 days in government,
including long and influential spells as Home Secretary and Foreign
Secretary. This is the story of how he got there. His memoirs offer
a unique insight into the complex, sometimes self-serving but
always fascinating world of British politics and reveals the toll
that high office takes, but , more importantly, the enormous
satisfaction and extraordinary privilege of serving both your
constituents and your country. Straw's has been a very public life,
but he reveals the private face, too and offers readers a vivid and
authoritative insight into the Blair/Brown era and, indeed, the
last forty years of British politics.
