London England: Allen Lane. Hardcover. First Edition. Not Quite the Diplomat. Home Truths About World Affairs. In 1997, Chris Patten, the last Governor, left Hong King on board the royal yacht Britannia before flying back to London with his family and 'prosaically ending the British Empire in the queue for a taxi at Heathro'w Terminal Three. I was back home after five years to a political landscape totally transformed by New Labour's poltical sorcery and the Conservative Part's stupidity'. This book describes what has been happening in Britain, Europe and the world since 1997 from the perspective of one at the heart of international events.In examining how we got to where we are, he writes frankly about many of the major players and what happened behind closed doors; his sketches of world leaders - including Chirac, Putin, Clinton, Bush and Blair (a man who 'has convictions to which he holds strongly - while he holds them') - and of key moments are done with the brush of a master portraitist. In arguing about where we should be, he writes with the directness of a man freed at last from the bonds of diplomatic restraint. Illustrated. 324 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
