<b>'EXPLOSIVE... </b>Contains a string of startling revelations about Mr Johnson's public and personal life, and <b>goes farther than any previous biography towards solving the enigma of his true personality</b>... The political book of 2020'. <i>Daily Mail</i><br><br><b>'Staggering</b>... Tom Bower [is] the master of the unauthorised biography' <i>Tatler</i><br><br><b>Hero or villain?</b><br><b>Genius or fool?</b><br><b>Maverick or chancer?</b><br><b>Before <i>you</i> decide, read this year's most sensational biography. </b><br><b><i><br>Guardian</i> 'literary highlights of 2020'<br><i>Sunday Times</i> 'books to watch out for in 2020'<br><i>New Statesman</i> 'books to read in 2020'<br><i>Evening Standard</i> 'thirteen titles to look for in 2020'</b><br><br><b>As divisive as he is beguiling, as misunderstood as he is scrutinised, Boris Johnson is a singular figure. </b><br><br>Many of us think we know his story well. His ruthless ambition was evident from his insistence, as a three-year-old, that he would one day be 'world king'. Eton and Oxford prepared him well for a frantic career straddling the dog-eat-dog worlds of journalism and politics. His transformation from bumbling stooge on <i>Have I Got New for You</i> to a triumphant Mayor of London was overshadowed only by his colourful personal life, brimming with affairs, scandals and transgressions. His ascent to Number 10 in the wake of the acrimonious, era-defining Brexit referendum would prove to be only the first act in an epic drama that saw him play both hero and villain - from proroguing parliament to his controversial leadership of the Covid-19 Crisis, all against the backdrop of divorce, marriage, the birth of his sixth child, revolts among Tory MPs and the countdown to Brexit.<br><br>Yet despite his celebrity, decades of media scrutiny, the endless vitriol of his critics and the enduring adoration of his supporters, there is so much we've never understood about Boris - until now.
