Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. Crease to corner front cover. Boris Johnson's critics dismissed him as a clown and the Tory leadership tried to keep him down, yet over a million Londoners voted to make him their mayor. How did a man whose early life was full of gaffes turn himself into a serious and successful contender for high office? In this age of cautious and unmemorable politicians, Boris shows that cracking jokes and taking risks can pay off. This brilliant portrait, written with an affectionate yet critical eye, tells the astonishing story of the Boris phenomenon from his competitive childhood, through his education, editorship of the Spectator, travails with the tabloids, to his dismissal from the Tory front bench by Michael Howard and triumphant comeback as mayor. Illustrated. 302 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
