Product Description

A self-portrait of a man who has lived life to the full and whose autobiography would be fascinating, even if he had never set foot in Palace of Westminster - a place whose intrigues and self-absorption, he acknowledges, he often found tedious.

Editorial Reviews

Review
'Fascinating and uplifting and genuinely, without irony, heroic, the sort of book you should read to your kids, just to let them know what can be done.' --Sunday Times, April 2009

'Paddy Ashdown tells us what he did and how he did it, and very entertaining it is too.' --The Times, April 2009

Book of the Week --Mail on Sunday, April 2009

Review
'Ashdown has a terrific tale to tell, and he tells it well.'

Review
'Lord Paddy Ashdown has had a career straight out of a Boy's Own serial. A former commando, member of the Special Boat Service, a diplomat, linguist, MP, leader of his party and international peacemaker, he has seen enough action to fill a dozen novels... A hearty raconteur, Lord Ashdown has written a winner.'
