Guardian Bookshop Notes:

One of the big political books of the autumn, this is a selection of the private papers of the leading journalist, styled 'the pope of the liberal left', Hugo Young. It covers 30 years of British politics through Young's off the record conversations with leading figures, together with his own immediate impressions of who he was talking to. The result is a unique and revealing book, which will be heavily backed by "The Guardian".

This title shows Young's central place in the nexus between politics and journalism in Britain and provides a historical document.
