On the day Paddy Ashdown became leader of the Social and Liberal Democratic Party, he began to keep a diary. It is a key, first-hand account of the efforts to build a centre left strategy for defeating the Conservatives, an unprecedented insight into the management and structure of a modern political party, and the daily record of one of public life's most energetic and charismatic figures. Culminating in Blair and Ashdown's secret plans to oust the Conservatives in 1997, this book draws the reader day by day into the immediate political past, from the intense pressures of the 1992 election to Europe's failure in the Balkans, from the cease-fire in Northern Ireland to John Major's final, crushing nemesis.

Before he began his political career, Paddy Ashdown served in the Royal Marine Commandos and the Special Boat Service (SBS) and afterwards as a member of the Diplomatic Service. In 1983 he became MP for Yeovil, and in 1988 won the leadership election for the new Social and Liberal Democrats. In the May 1997 election he led the Liberal Democrats to their greatest electoral achievement since 1929. He stood down as the party's leader in 1999.
