About the Author
Lord Hurd of Westwell was a distinguished Foreign Secretary in both the Margaret Thatcher and John Major administrations. He is also the author of several well-received political novels.
From Library Journal
This transatlantic version of our Washington novel follows a young MP, Edward Dunsford, who is also a junior minister in the Foreign Office. Dunsford goes to a developing nation on a state visit and finds appalling human misery. On his return to London, his government rejects his appeal for major humanitarian aid. The press creates an uproar and he is forced out of Parliament. The wily Prime Minister dissolves Parliament, allowing the government to reassess its aid policy without losing face before the new elections. Dunsford fails to re-win his seat, and loses a good deal more besides; but he equates his losses with a new freedom. The authors, high civil servants, give compelling accounts of the system's ironies, eccentricities, and outright insults. Romance takes center stage often; characters are fairly well fleshed out. Readers will enjoy. Barbara Conaty, Medical Coll. of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
