This year marks the twentieth anniversary of one of the most momentous general elections this country has ever seen. John Major's defeat in 1997 ended a record eighteen years of Tory government, prompting accusations of failure and ignominy. A controversial leader, Major oversaw numerous crises in international and domestic policy. Between 1990 and 1997, he presided over Britain's participations in the Gulf War, the start of the Northern Ireland peace process, the Maastricht Treaty negotiations and, famously, Black Wednesday and Britain's exit from the ERM. Towards the end, Major's government was split over Europe and ridden with allegations of sleaze. Widely criticised by the media and politicians from all parties, Major went on to be crushed by Tony Blair and New Labour in the 1997 general election. An Unsuccessful Prime Minister? is the first wide-ranging appraisal of John Major's government in nearly two decades. This book reconsiders the role of John Major as Prime Minister and the policy achievements of his government. Major's government faced many more constraints and left behind a more enduring legacy than his critics allowed at the time or since.

John Major's autobiography is one of the most personal and revealing ever written by a former British Prime Minister. Eagerly awaited, the remarkable story of his life, from an extraordinary childhood to becoming an influential leader at the forefront of global politics and subsequent fall, is candid, scrupulous, and unsparing. With complete candor and compelling insight, Major describes how he left school at fifteen, was unemployed, and through hard work and determination was elected to Parliament as a member of Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party, which would transform Britain. Quickly becoming one of Thatcher's Cabinet members, he served as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Foreign Secretary, and then Chancellor of the Exchequer, the powerful position from which he vaulted to Prime Minister in 1990 when, after Thatcher fell, he fought and won a shrewd campaign to succeed her. Major vividly recounts his role in shaping some of the most profound world events, including conferring with George Bush on the Gulf War, making the most decisive steps in a generation toward peace in Northern Ireland, leading Britain through the formation of the European Upon, and calling a general election in 1992 in which his party won the most votes in British political history. Yet within months of the 1992 election his government was in troubled waters, and Major is candid about his difficulties and losses and the controversies and divisions within his own party. Through it all, including the landslide defeat of his Conservative Party on May 1, 1997, and his immediate stepping down as party leader and Prime Minister, John Major acted with a dignity rare in politics. As he talks about his leadership triumphs and defeats and his work with a diverse range of inter-national figures including George Bush, Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, Helmut Kohl, and Nelson Mandela, he offers invaluable insight into how political power is exercised both in the United Kingdom and abroad. Here is a fascinating story of a man, his passion for politics, and the genuine and significant contributions he has made to the lives ofthe British and people around the world.

"When John Major decided in June 1995 to risk all and trigger a contest for the leadership of his party, it was the latest twist in a long-running saga: from the day he first won the key to Number 10, he had been engaged in a constant battle for survival." "Sarah Hogg and Jonathan Hill were the Prime Minister's closest advisers from 1990 to 1995. They saw the development of his political personality, philosophy - and problems - from the heart of Downing Street. Together, they have written Too Close To Call: the first insiders' account of the period leading up to John Major's general election victory in 1992, and also of his re-election campaign for the Tory leadership in 1995." "Drawing on their personal records of the time, and including many previously unpublished photographs, the authors lead you through the famous black front door and into a ringside seat at the political drama of the early 1990s. This book is an entertaining story of both the public and private lives of Number 10, taking the reader to the centre of power and throwing new light on the way Britain is governed. It gives vivid accounts of how the personalities of the time - Michael Heseltine, Chris Patten, Norman Lamont, Douglas Hurd, Kenneth Clarke - played their parts in the Cabinet. It takes you behind the scenes of a general election campaign, with its spin-doctors, speechwriters, triumphs and disasters. And in the final chapter, it gives the inside story of the Prime Minister's bold gamble to restore his authority in the summer of 1995."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
