Shattering the mold of the traditional political memoir, Unleashed is a candid, unrestrained, and revealing political autobiography by Boris Johnson, the Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
In Unleashed, Johnson takes readers through all the big decisions during his time in power and why he took them. The challenges and crises, how they were resolved―or not―and how he nearly died from Covid; riots; crime; the London Olympics, and so much more. Johnson writes about his role in Brexit and the constitutional sea-change in British politics in 2019 with his landslide election victory.
Underlying everything in the book is Johnson's belief that the UK is an extraordinary country and should have an exceptional future. Unleashed stands out as a rare glimpse into the inner workings of modern political leadership at the highest levels of power.
