Boris Johnson

Gebundenes Buch

Unleashed

Beschreibung

Shattering the mold of the traditional political memoir, Unleashed is a candid, unrestrained, and revealing book 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 leadership at the highest levels of power.

Rezensionen

'Johnson writes better than any other politician - his memoir is proof... Unleashed is incomparably more readable than a standard political memoir...A breezy Wodehousian persona wafts the reader along'

TELEGRAPH

'Authentically amusing...he writes with energy and originality'

THE TIMES

'A racy, charming and sometimes thought-provoking romp... teasingly settling a few scores with the likes of his former Downing Street advisers Dominic Cummings and Lee Cain, and - the Iago of the tale - Rishi Sunak. A rattling yarn in his own terms... he takes the reader inside his own doubts, uncertainties and - distinctly qualified -

insecurities'

FINANCIAL TIMES

'This is a box of Turkish Delight as addictive as the White Witch's in Narnia. I defy anyone to finish the book without smiles constantly breaking out, and without having to acknowledge there is actually something heroic - often chaotic, but still heroic - about the man's determination to champion Britain's virtues'

MICHAEL GOVE, THE SPECTATOR

'Boris Johnson's memoir is funny - occasionally properly, laugh-out-loud funny -and he knows how to spin an entertaining yarn. Unlike most other politicians, he can write. These are rare qualities in Westminster and his autobiography, when it hits fifth gear, is a reminder of what might have been; not least the impassioned defence of levelling-up and hymns to the opportunities of Brexit'

THE TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES, Books of the Year

'The most eagerly awaited memoir of the year is also by far the most entertaining'

DAILY TELEGRAPH, Books of the Year

'Revelatory and entertaining in equal measure'
