Alan Clark's "Diaries" are the best account of the last quarter of a century of British politics. This first volume was published to enormous acclaim and bestselling success in hardback and paperback (30 weeks overall on the "Sunday Times" bestseller list). As "The Times" wrote in a leading article: "The best diarists, from Pepys and Boswell,to 'Chips' Channon and Harold Nicolson, have been the souls of indiscretion. But none so indiscreet as Mr Clark...For its Pooterish self-assessment, for Mr Toad's enthusiasm for new things, for Byron's caddishness, for its deadly candour, it is one of the great works in the genre." Robert Harris: "The most compelling account of modern politics I have ever read". Simon Heffer: "The most brilliant political book I have read in years". Edward Pearce: "In a hundred years' time it will be opened as Pepys is for the sheer pleasure of which it is a deep well". Julian Critchley: "His diaries are...malicious, lecherous and self-pitying, and they are enormous fun". David Mellor: "Unputdownable". Robert Rhodes James: "The sheer fun of politics shines through...this is a wonderful book". Anthony Howard: "Absorbing...staggering, recklessly candid...tells the truth as he saw it without fear or favour".
