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 Tory front bench by Michael Howard and triumphant comeback as Mayor.
