Here Today Gone Tomorrow Bewertungen

Daily Mirror - Paul Routledge Who would have thought that John Nott had some much of interest to tell us? The Times - Michael Gove A superb memoir Sunday Telegraph - Matthew Parris It is the awkward passion not the mellow recollection which renders this an outstanding autobiography. There is much here that historians will prize. The Guardian - Douglas Hurd John Nott's memoirs catch fire... Nott writes attractively throughout. Simon Heffer, Literary Review Nott has composed one of the best memoirs of the era; it is likely to become an essential source for future historians of that period. Anthony Howard, Sunday Times This is an oddly engaging book. Nott has had a wide and varied career, and some of the best parts of the text are not about politics at all. Norman Lamont, Mail on Sunday What makes the book remarkably entertaining and readable is Nott's spiky intelligence and candour. John Biffen, The Spectator It is the style and its candour that makes this book an excellent read.
