In the first part of his candid and compelling diaries, Paddy Ashdown gives us a fascinating insight into his political and personal life - from the day he became leader of his near-bankrupt, demoralised party, to May 2, 1997 when he led them to their greatest electoral achievement for over sixty years. He also reveals how he coped with the media intrusion into his private life; gives moving accounts of his visits to the war-torn Balkans; expresses astute insider views of his political colleagues; and discloses the truth about his secret deal with Tony Blair.
