Subject: Memoir

Chris Mullin’s bestselling A View From the Foothills provided a riveting insider’s account of life as a junior minister. Laying bare the personalities, pyrotechnics and political intrigues of the Blair years, it was described as Yes Minister meets Alan Clark. Funny and self-deprecating, the new diaries run from his sacking by Blair as a minister after the 2005 elections to Election Day 2010 as he prepared to step down after 23 years as an MP wryly observing ‘ they say failed politicians make the best diarists, in which case I am in with a chance.’

Praise for A View from the Foothills

'...gems sprinkled across every page...' Peter Hain

'Every once in a while, political diaries emerge that are so irreverent and insightful that they are destined to be handed out as leaving presents in offices across Whitehall for years to come. A View from the Foothills is one such book.' David Cameron, Observer Books of the Year"
