During a long career in journalism, Andy McSmith encountered Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in a Siberian town called Bratsk; dined with Sir Edward Heath in his home in Salisbury; was mugged in the street while visiting Moscow with John Major; and knew Boris Johnson as a colleague with an ambition to be something more than just a journalist. Unusually, though, early in his career he abandoned journalism, to return after more than a decade as a left-wing political activist and playwright.
This brought him into close contact with people he would never otherwise have met. A host of characters pass through this account of his long life - some highly successful, others not, each recalled in vivid detail.
