Bernard Ingham was one of those people that rose to prominence without anyone really knowing how or why. This entertaining biography explains how a socialist firebrand and instinctive
'Tory-baiter' became Mrs. Thatcher's most trusted aide and far more valuable to her than most of her ministers. It is also illuminating in view of his recent attacks on the role of Alistair Campbell, who surely must have learned many lessons from this most faithful of servants.
