A fascinating account of his life up until the beginning of the 1990s. I thoroughly enjoyed learning in detail about the development of the SDP and his perspectives on why he didn't wish for the merger with the liberals. It was also useful for understanding his perspectives on the EU and where they came from alongside his own experiences in government.
