THE UNMISSABLE, UNVARNISHED MEMOIRS OF BORIS JOHNSON

A book of the year according to the Financial Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail, Times, and Sunday Times.

Boris Johnson has always been larger than life. Dangerous, unrestrained by the rules of politics, his path to the premiership of the United Kingdom included a defining career as a journalist, two terms as Mayor of London, leadership in the Vote Leave campaign for Brexit, and serving as foreign secretary. He won the Conservatives' largest majority since 1987 when he went to the polls in December 2019 for a mandate to 'get Brexit done' – only for his administration to be hit by the global Covid pandemic and overturned in a conservative revolution.

“Unleashed” is the narrative of his time in politics and a book that upends the conventions of modern prime ministerial memoirs. Written in his unique style, it is honest, unrestrained, and deeply revealing about the politician who has dominated our era.

This is the story of his fifteen years since his victory over Ken Livingstone in the London mayoral elections. Riots, combating knife crime, bicycles, buses, the London Olympics, and much more. He writes about his role in Brexit, goes through all the major decisions and the reasons he took them, and describes how he almost died from Covid.

Under the influence of all this, he believes that the United Kingdom is an extraordinary country and should have an extraordinary future. These are the thoughts of a political leader who fundamentally believes that prosperity must be enhanced – that there are millions of people in Britain who do not have the present they need or the future they deserve, and that it is the politicians' primary job to fix it.

Here it all is. From beginning to end, with imperfections and all. As a journalist, he was known as the revealer of truth, and he has drawn on this quality again for the book. About people, policies, mistakes, and triumphs. This is the reality as he saw it: without embellishment, free, revealed.
