BACK FROM THE BRINKNo one was closer to the financial meltdown that swept across the world than Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling. His book captures all the important events during his three-year tenure as chancellor in Gordon Brown's cabinet, especially his experience at the heart of the global banking crisis. He also details the pivotal role he played with the former prime minister in putting together an international rescue package. An exciting opportunity to hear from the man at the very centre of finance and politics in the period that shook the world.
‘The reverse sexists assume that this book is stylishly written only because Alistair Darling’s wife, Maggie Vaughan, and his special adviser, Catherine McLeod, helped to write it. I am not so sure. I have always liked Alistair Darling’s dry wit and my own unfounded assumption is that the best lines in the book are his own.’
