Tom Bower

Many of us think we know Boris Johnson’s story well. His ruthless ambition was evident from his insistence, as a three-year-old, that he would one day be 'world king'. Eton and Oxford prepared him well for a frantic career straddling the dog-eat-dog worlds of journalism and politics. His transformation from bumbling stooge on Have I Got New for You to a triumphant Mayor of London was overshadowed only by his colourful personal life, brimming with affairs, scandals and transgressions. His ascent to Number 10 in the wake of the acrimonious, era-defining Brexit referendum would prove to be only the first act in an epic drama that saw him play both hero and villain - from proroguing parliament to his controversial leadership of the Covid-19 Crisis, all against the backdrop of divorce, marriage, the birth of his sixth child, revolts among Tory MPs and the countdown to Brexit. Yet, there is so much we've never understood about Boris - until now.

After four decades in politics, Jeremy Corbyn stands on the brink of power. Until his surprise election as leader of the Labour Party he had not been a major political player.

Here, Tom Bower reveals hidden truths about Corbyn's character and Britain's likely fate under the Marxist-Trotskyist society he champions.

Few heirs to the throne have suffered as much humiliation as Prince Charles. Despite his hard work and genuine concern for the disadvantaged, he has struggled to overcome his unpopularity.

Relying on the testimony from people employed or welcomed into the inner sanctum of Clarence House, Tom Bower reveals a royal household rife with intrigue and misconduct.
