Ken Clarke needs no introduction. One of the genuine 'Big Beasts'
of the political scene, during his forty-six years as the Member of
Parliament for Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire he has been at the
very heart of government under three prime ministers. He is a
political obsessive with a personal hinterland, as well known as a
Tory Wet with Europhile views as for his love of cricket,
Nottingham Forest Football Club and jazz. In Kind of Blue, Clarke
charts his remarkable progress from working-class scholarship boy
in Nottinghamshire to high political office and the upper echelons
of both his party and of government. But Clarke is not a
straightforward Conservative politician. His position on the left
of the party often led Margaret Thatcher to question his true blue
credentials and his passionate commitment to the European project
has led many fellow Conservatives to regard him with suspicion -
and cost him the leadership on no less than three occasions. Clarke
has had a ringside seat in British politics for four decades and
his trenchant observations and candid account of life both in and
out of government will enthral readers of all political
persuasions. Vivid, witty and forthright, and taking its title not
only from his politics but from his beloved Miles Davis, Kind of
Blue is political memoir at its very best.
