Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand modern British politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn just 49 days, Liz Truss oversaw the death of the longest-reigning monarch in British history, attempted a radical economic reshaping of the country, watched Sterling collapse in value, and was forced through a humiliating series of U-turns that ultimately ended her time in office. Truss at 10 is part of the acclaimed Prime Ministers at 10 series from Atlantic Books, which examines the tenures of recent occupants of Number 10 Downing Street with rigour and readability. Drawing on exclusive interviews with aides, allies and insiders, Anthony Seldon reconstructs the personal tensions, character flaws and behind-the-scenes clashes that contributed to Truss's spectacular downfall. Praised by critics as a forensic and eloquent evisceration of a catastrophic premiership, and described in the Guardian as a textbook on bad government, this book combines sharp political analysis with the pace of a thriller. It has quickly become required reading for students of politics, journalists, and anyone who lived through the turbulent autumn of 2022 and wants to understand exactly how it all went so wrong. The hardback edition runs to 384 pages and is built to last on any bookshelf, whether as a standalone read or as a growing collection of contemporary political history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by leading political biographer and contemporary historian Anthony Seldon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on exclusive interviews with key aides, allies and Westminster insiders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstant Sunday Times bestseller with widespread critical acclaim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the respected Prime Ministers at 10 series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fast-paced, highly readable account ideal for students, journalists and general readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy 384-page hardback edition, brand new and perfect for gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnthony Seldon is one of Britain's foremost political biographers and contemporary historians, renowned for his authoritative and candid accounts of recent prime ministers.
