JULIAN CRITCHLEY - Heseltine. The Unauthorised Biography

London England, Andre Deutsch, 1987. Second Impression, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0233980016 Hardback Political biographies written at the end of illustrious and often dull careers are ten a penny. This one is something quite different. 10 Downing Street has been Mchaell Heseltine's goal since Oxford. It was also once the goal of his biographer, but he is now comfortably ensconced on the back benches. That Critchley somehow fell by the wayside is the reader's gain, for he has emerged as the wittiest political journalist for decades. We have then a heady mixture: the most colourful and unpredicatable of Conservative politicians portrayed by the sharpest pen in Fleet Street. Message to previous owner to inside cover.
