Politics On the Edge: A Memoir From Within

by Rory Stewart

In 2009, Rory Stewart—former diplomat and acclaimed travel writer—left his chair at Harvard University to run for parliament. In this searingly honest memoir, he offers an insider’s view of British politics in the age of Brexit, rolling news, and blustering Boris. Since he stood down in 2019, Stewart has rapidly become known as a political truth-teller and astute commentator—not least as co-host (with New Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell) of the hit podcast The Rest is Politics.
