About this title

Synopsis

This biography looks at the life of Airey Neave, Colditz escapee, MI6 officer, mastermind of Margaret Thatcher's leadership campaign, and on the verge of being her first Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he was brutally murdered in the palace of Westminster by the INLA. Neave's sensational escape and his equally sensational death are the extent of most people's knowledge and appreciation of one of Britain's most mysterious public figures.
