DESCRIPTION:
It begins with an in-depth introduction, now updated by the author, exploring his character and career, not ignoring his racy peccadilloes.. This collection of his wit and wisdom, edited and introduced by eminent journalist Harry Mount, covers his background, education, journalism, personal life and politics, as well as the Olympics and his time as Mayor of London and Foreign Secretary. Planet-brained, snortingly ambitious and given to comic one-liners that the public and press take equal delight in, Boris Johnson is the most talked-about politician in Britain

He was a New York correspondent and a leader-writer at the Daily Telegraph, where he worked with Boris Johnson for five years.

"A disappointment!" according to D P Dickinson. This promised much and turned out to be (mainly) a collection of already-reported quotations and added nothing to mankind's knowledge of the wit and wisdom of Boris!!. but I would have enjoyed more It is just a series of quotes by Boris. It was quite entertaining, but I would have enjoyed more anecdotes. Sherry B. said Five Stars. Boris is awesome writer if you are looking for British humor.
