What They're Saying
Critics Review
Craig Oliver’s account of his years as David Cameron’s head of communications in Downing Street will almost certainly prove to be the most important document for understanding what happened and why it all ended as it did. Oliver has managed the difficult trick of being frank as well as loyal, and his words have a remarkable immediacy, giving the feeling of being written in the heat of the moment rather than afterwards with hindsight. I found his book utterly fascinating, and I suspect that every historian of the period will regard it as indispensable in appreciating this extraordinary phase in our history. - John Simpson
Part memoir, part diary, this is one of the most vivid, frank and exciting inside accounts to have been written for years. It points its forensic beam into the inner sanctums of power during one of the most crucial episodes in British history since the war. Stunning and highly readable. It will make uncomfortable reading for a few, but hugely enlightening and enjoyable reading for the many. - Anthony SeldonWish you could have been a fly on the wall of Number 10 during the EU referendum campaign? No need. This is the compelling insider’s account of the man who was at the centre of the Downing Street web as David Cameron took the decisions which led to Britain voting to leave the EU. - Nick RobinsonA gripping fly-on-the-wall account of the frenzy in Downing Street during the EU campaign. - Robert PestonAbout The Author
