What was very impressive to me was the statistics that he used. We have great problems in this country when our politician. A reasonably accessible primer on the politics of the crash This book isn't a political memoir of Brown's time as prime minister but rather an analysis of the crash and proposals for moving beyond it from someone who was 'there at the time'.Although light on personal details there are some poignant glimses in to family life at Number 10 during key moments of the crisis (and immense personal stress).Some parts are pretty technical but, compared to other books on the subject, it clearly benefits from being written by . Gia Maisashvili said Insightful fought from the wise and decent man.

He served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1997 to 2007, making him the longest-serving Chancellor in modern history. Gordon Brown served as Br
