Margaret Thatcher's fall from power is the dramatic core of this second volume of Woodrow Wyatts' sensational memoirs, covering the years 1989 until the election in 1992. Through Wyatt's indignant eyes, we see the overthrow of the woman he believes to be the best possible prime minister for Britain. At the height of the Tory leadership crisis he speaks to her on a daily basis while urging senior ministers and newspaper moguls to be loyal to her. After her fall, writing his regular columns in The Times and News of the World, he continues to have the ear of politicians and he acts as a bridge between his fallen idol and John Major's administration. These journals present a completely new perspective on these momentous events and the atmosphere at the time. Woodrow Wyatt continues to comment with total frankness on the foibles of his friends, watches them fall in and out of love, wines and dines politicians, royalty, journalists, aristocrats - like the lord he is and the millionaire he is not. In these journals, he reveals himself nakedly, sharing his beliefs and achievements, his self-doubts and failures, with an unusual zest and honesty. Illustrated. 734 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.). …

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. 3 inch closed tear to d/jThe Journals of Woodrow Wyatt. Volume One. Couple of creases and small tear to bottom edge of back D/J. When Woodrow Wyatt died in December 1997, he was remembered as a politician, journalist, Chairman of the Tote and confidant of Margaret Thatcher. What no one knew was that from 1985 he had been keeping a journal. But Woodrow Wyatt's journals are much more than political commentary. His life at the Tote brought friendship with raceowners and with royalty, in particular Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. His determinationg to modernize the Tote and his pride in maximizing its profits for the benefit of racing run through his journals. No journal writer till now has offered such a mix of the historic and the absurd, the public and the personal. He records weekends in stately homes, parties big and small, the food, the wine and the gossip. Woodrow Wyatt, canny, opinionated, loyal and warm-hearted, is a contemporary Pepys in the spontaneity of his observations and the breadth of his interests. Illustrated. 748 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Wear to edges and corners of D/J. Couple of creases to cover. John Major, Norman Lamont and Rupert Murdoch play leading roles in the third and final volume of Woodrow Wyatt's provocative journals which run from the April 1922 election to three months before Wyatt's death in December 1997. Wyatt is now in his late seventies but his access to those in power in undiminished, thanks to his columns in The Times and The News of the World. He risks his relationship with Major after his friend Lamont is sacked as Chancellor of the Exchequer. He then risks his livelihood in defending Major as Prime Minister in the run-up to the 1997 election. He maintains an uneasy relationship with the deposed Thatcher to whom he is still personally devoted. These superbly edited journals will be remembered for their historical importance, for Wyatt's candid exposure of the motives and morals of people he knows - from media magnates and members of the royal family to his friends - for his honesty about himself, and above all, for their consistent entertainment value.
