"A truly gripping and important book of contemporary history."—Robert Skidelsky A leading British political and social commentator offers the definitive account of Gordon Brown's premiership, his troubled era and legacy, and his relationship with Barack Obama. It relates, for the first time, the full extraordinary tale of the pivotal role played by Brown in persuading the world’s leaders to address the global banking crisis head-on, revealing how Brown shared Obama’s goals for fiscal stimulus, but how he risked demeaning himself by basking in the president’s post-election glory.
