Book Review By Alex Wolstenholme
John Major - The Autobiography by John Major

John Major, former Prime Minister of Britain tells his life story beginning with his unusual upbringing in inner-city London as the son of circus performers. There is enough background information to give you an insight into the man himself and he is frank about the triumphs and mistakes he made while Prime Minister. He is happy to tell the real story behind the headlines and scandals that occasionally plagued his Government but is firm in detailing what he saw as his triumphs.
