Mission Accomplished!: A Treasury of the Things Politicians Wish They Hadn't Said by Matthew Parris
It's amazing how often politicians' most public words come back to haunt them, and Mission Accomplished is a priceless treasure-trove of their verbal blunders, indiscretions, regrettable promises, about-turns, deceptions, lies...and just plain stupidity. Ranging across the centuries and across the globe this salutary and hugely funny book comes bang up-to-date with all those immortal lines our leaders have made into classics.
