Guardian Bookshop Notes:

From the provocative biographer of Shirley Porter, this is a comprehensive and fascinating account of Ken Livingstone's extraordinary life and career. For nearly 30 years, this controversial political chameleon has been making headlines, antagonising, shocking and delighting the public and press in equal measure. Published to coincide with the 2008 London Mayoral elections, there will be massive press coverage, and a national author tour.

Publisher's description:

After taking control of the GLC through an audacious internal coup in 1981, Ken Livingstone's career was transformed in 2000 when he became the first directly elected Mayor of London as an independent in the teeth of a fierce campaign by Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell. This biography provides an account of his life and career.
