Özet
 After his sudden rise to power in the summer of 2019 amid the Brexit deadlock, Boris Johnson presided over the most dramatic period of British history in almost a century. From the controversial prorogation of Parliament in August 2019 to the historic landslide victory later that year, the agonising upheaval of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic - and the scandals unleashed by both - the Afghanistan crisis, and the conflict in Ukraine, Johnson's premiership was more turbulent than any other in living memory.

This gripping work of contemporary history maps Johnson's time in power across ten decisive moments and sheds light on the most divisive and inscrutable prime minister since Margaret Thatcher. Based on major interviews with key aides and allies, Anthony Seldon and Raymond Newell give the first full account of Boris Johnson's explosive time in office.©2023 Anthony Seldon (P)2023 Atlantic Books Ltd and W.

It's really hard to listen to a book when the narrator has such terrible pronunciation.
Parliament is pronounced as 'Parleement'
John Bercow is pronounced as John Ber-cow instead of Ber-coh
Evgeny (Lebedev) comes out as Ev-Jeanie, instead of Yiv-Genny

.... and I've barely started!

Surely someone should have checked the recording and caught the errors before publication?

Good book but terrible narration

Brilliant! Nails the whole sorry mess down. Brexit calamity: the hubris of a supreme egoist.

Ignore reviews complaining about narration, thought it was performed very well. Good book with plenty of detail.

Thorough and detailed

This is a detailed and very well researched account of Boris' premiership and pulls him and his Government apart quite effectively. However, I found it less than gripping. Firstly the events are so fresh that most of it is boringly familiar. While the largely unattributed insider quotes may in some instances be insightful, the regime was so leaky that there were already plenty of first hand accounts in the public domain to reveal the awful dysfunctionality. My second issue is that the writing is wholly humourless - somewhat ironic given the subject - and in general the book is a bit self important with the authors appearing to have the objective of providing the definitive judgement. For example there are regular comparisons to former prime ministers sometimes from over a century ago. This may show great learning but does it really add? Finally, with the chapters addressing particular topics rather than having a narrative that just follows the timeline, there is a good deal of overlap which I found pretty tedious.

The funeral like tone of the narration does not help.

A bit dull.....

This is the first audio book where the narrative style made me wish I'd chosen to read it rather than listen. The quotes are delivered in a Kenneth Williams style drawl which made me cringe every single time and the whole thing had, for me, the air of being a Charles Dickens novel rather than an account of a significant era of modern British politics.

Good but...
