Description

First Confession: A Sort of Memoir is a unique and thought-provoking autobiography that challenges traditional notions of politics and identity. Chris Patten's life has been marked by a series of significant roles, from his early days in outer London to his time as Governor of Hong Kong and Chancellor of Oxford University.

As he reflects on each phase of his life, Patten draws connections between his personal experiences and the broader contemporary issues of education, America, conservatism, Ireland, China, Europe, and the complex relationship between violence and religion. With candour and intelligence, he shares his insights into the lives of three Prime Ministers - Edward Heath, Margaret Thatcher, and John Major - as well as his own views on politics and faith.

Through this memoir, Patten offers a nuanced exploration of identity, politics, and the human experience, providing an impression of someone who knows himself intimately and continues to think passionately about the world around him.
