Former Special Branch officer John Warwicker gives the inside story
of the six years he spent in charge of security at 10 Downing
Street, tracking one of the most turbulent periods in modern
British politics. From 1974-79, when the threat of the Cold War and
the IRA was ever present, the 'targets' who Warwicker protected
daily, both at home and overseas, were Prime Ministers Wilson,
Callaghan and Thatcher. More than thirty years on since Warwicker
left his post, his insightful memoir, based not only on personal
memories and experience, but often also from contemporaneous notes,
includes a fascinating and frank insight into the day-to-day
operations at Downing Street and Chequers and the eccentric cast of
characters within. Despite the constant threat of terrorism that
was prevalent at the time, there is a touch of Yes, Prime Minister
that runs through the narrative, which adds a surprisingly amusing
element to this revelatory book.
