Description

A unique perspective on British politics and history is offered in Douglas Hurd's memoirs. As a former Foreign Secretary and key figure in Margaret Thatcher and John Major's administrations, Hurd provides a detailed account of his time at the heart of modern political decision-making. Hurd's career spans over 16 years in Government, including roles as Secretary of State for Ireland, Home Secretary, and six years in the Foreign Office. He also worked closely with former Prime Minister Edward Heath, serving as his Private Secretary and Political Secretary. This memoir is a valuable insight into the inner workings of British politics and the key players who shaped the country's history in the post-war period.
