Alan Clarke's Diaries

So, I finished this book some months ago, but have not been posting lately. This book was a pretty big deal when it came out because Clarke was so indiscreet. He was a member of Parliament from Plymouth at this time and a minister in Thatcher's government. I certainly enjoyed it, but found it far more interesting when he discussed the defence review he was attempting to get adopted. I have read quite a lot of political memoirs and this is one of the more readable. I'm glad I read it at some distance removed from the hype.
