In It Together

The Inside Story of the Coalition Government

Summary

Matthew d'Ancona's In It Together is the revelatory inside story of Britain's coalition government.

Andrew Rawnsley told the inside story of new labour in Servants of the People and The End of the Party and now renowned political journalist Matt d'Ancona cuts right to the heart of the Lib Dem/Tory struggle in In It Together.

With exclusive, unprecedented access to all the major senior figures, from David Cameron, George Osborne, Boris Johnson and Nick Clegg, he will tell the truth behind key relationships, the U-turns, the shifts in policies, the dramatic fights and arguments and the warring within the party.

A breathtaking book that takes you into the heart of government, it reveals the truth behind the corridors of Whitehall and Number 10.

Reviews

  • d'Ancona has taken the inchoate subject of the coalition and kneaded it into shape...his ultimate strength is his authorial skill...a lively phrasemaker
