by Gordon Brown
A fascinating self portrait of Gordon Brown in power. He tries to spell out why he thought and acted as he did, much of which was admirable. The book really comes to life with the financial shocks of 2007-8 and their aftermath which Brown played a leading role in.
A man like Brown seldom seems to think they are wrong and the apologies he makes in this book are of a minor nature. The true assessment of Brown as Chancellor and Prime Minister will have to come from others.
A minor criticism but I did find the prose rather clunky in places 6/10
