About the Author:
Chris Mullin was Member of Parliament for Sunderland South from 1987 until 2010. Before being elected as an MP, he worked as a journalist on the ITV documentary programme World in Action and had been editor of Tribune. His trilogy of political diaries, beginning with A View from the Foothills, are also published by Profile Books, as was his memoir Hinterland. A Very British Coup was made into an award winning television series in 1988.
Review:
As fascinating as it was entertaining when it was first published ... it's disturbing how much still resonates. If Corbyn seeks a cautionary tale, he need look no further. -- Val McDermid * New Statesman * Rattles along with speed and great credibility * The Times * A delicious fantasy... crisply written and the story belts along * Observer * A world of power struggle in Downing Street, Fleet Street, Whitehall and Washington * New Statesman * A spiffing read... calculated to grip blue-rinsed Conservative ladies and make Socialist eyes pop * People * Chris Mullin's book is the first for some time that I have stayed awake to finish -- Ken Livingstone * Labour Herald * A curious Molotov cocktail * Financial Times * Entertaining propaganda * Literary Review * A very effective political thriller, which hasyou on the edge of your seat from start to finish * Oxford Mail * Entertaining to anyone interested in contemporary politics * Glasgow Herald * ...a brilliant concept that opened the way for my own novels -- Michael Dobbs Compulsive reading * City Limits *
