Review
the story he has to tell is full of rich detail and comes with a vital five months' worth of perspective. --Peter Preston, The Guardian

David Laws has copious notes of interminable meetings to rely on, which means his account has the ring of authenticity. It's a brisk, rewarding read that makes you feel more participant than spectator. It also catches the milling chaos of the time, the imperative that a deal be done in yes! the national interest, because the cabinet secretary and governor of the Bank of England were dancing jigs of anxiety just off stage. --Peter Preston, The Guardian
