Greg Hurst, political correspondent at the "Times", with a special brief to cover the Liberal Democrats, has written an inside account of the rise and fall of Charles Kennedy. The book opens with the 'Orange Revolution', a detailed account of events from mid-November, 2005, to his resignation on 7 January, 2006. The book ends by looking forward to the direction that the new leader will take the party, and assesses Kennedy's place in history and his legacy.
