The third and final volume of Wyatt's scandalous journals The final journals of Woodrow Wyatt cover the period from the 1992 election to his death at the end of 1997. By now in his late seventies, Wyatt is as busy as ever, still writing his columns for The Times and the News of the World, continuing his reign as Chairman of the Tote, lobbying in the Lords and mixing with the Royal Family, the aristocracy and movers and shakers in every field of life. Thatcher has long been deposed but he is no less close to the centre of power. He has successfully transferred his allegiance to Major but risks all to defend his friend Norman Lamont when he gets into hot water. In these final years, Wyatt comes more and more to rely upon his journals as an outlet for his deeply private thoughts. As cancer is diagnosed in September 1997, he is typically optimistic and courageous. Some of the final entries as he faces his cancer are extremely moving.Praise for Volumes 1 & 2: 'A rich pudding of gossip, indiscretion, impish humour, malice and politics.'
