 | A View from the Foothills: The Diaries of Chris Mullin Chris Mullin Paperback 2010-01-14 Profile Books Ltd Price From: $10.66 (as of 2010-09-05 12:15:46 PST) | Chris Mullin has been a Labour MP for twenty years, and despite his refusal to toe the party line - on issues like 90 days detention, for example - he has held several prominent posts. To the apoplexy of the whips, he was for a time the only person appointed to government who voted against the Iraq War. He also chaired the Home Affairs Select Committee and was a member of the Parliamentary Committee, giving him direct access to the court of Tony Blair. Irreverent, wry and candid, Mullin's keen sense of the ridiculous allows him to give a far clearer insight into the workings of Government than other, more overtly successful politicians. He offers humorous and incisive takes on all aspects of political life: from the build-up to Iraq, to the scandalous sums of tax-payers' money spent on ministerial cars he didn't want to use. His critically acclaimed diary will entertain and amuse far beyond the political classes. |
 | Decline & Fall: Diaries 2005-2010 Chris Mullin Hardcover 2010-08-30 Profile Books Ltd Price From: $30.99 (as of 2010-09-05 12:32:14 PST) | Chris Mullin's bestselling "A View From the Foothills" provided a riveting insider's account of life as a junior minister. Laying bare the personalities, pyrotechnics and political intrigues of the Blair years, it was described as 'Yes Minister meets Alan Clark'. Funny and self-deprecating, the new diaries run from his sacking by Blair as a minister after the 2005 elections to Election Day 2010 as he prepares to step down after 23 years as an MP wryly observing, 'they say failed politicians make the best diarists, in which case I am in with a chance'. |
