Friendship and Betrayal by Graham Stewart
Three gripping studies of friendships that turned sour in collision with national interest.
'this enjoyable book.. these episodes narrated as they are with impressive knowledge of their periods.' -- JWM Thompson LITERARY REVIEW 'an enthralling book - and one that points to a new way forward for political biography.' -- Jane Ridley THE SPECTATOR 'ambitious trawl through history... there is much that is poignant in this book.' -- Chris Bryant THE INDEPENDENT 'One of the many merits of his book is that he writes with tremendous zest and clarity' -- Miranda Seymour THE GUARDIAN "The book that MPs have been reading this summer is Graham Stewart's Friendship and Betrayal, a historical look at political ambition and the limits of loyalty. The book highlights political friendships through the ages and makes clear that it was not only Stalin who shafted his friends. Shared experiences and backgrounds, common assumptions and the pleasure derived from another's company, all end up taking second place to climbing the greasy pole." -- Alice Thomson THE DAILY TELEGRAPH 'brilliantly researched, and for the most part, well told.' THE IRISH EXAMINER
