THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTELLER A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES, TELEGRAPH, DAILY MAIL, TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES ‘ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY, MIND-BLOWINGLY EXPLOSIVE’ ED BALLS 'SENSATIONAL' DAILY MAIL THE UNMISSABLE, UNVARNISHED MEMOIRS OF BORIS JOHNSON Boris Johnson has always been larger than life. Controversial, untrammelled by the normal rules of politics, his route to becoming Britain’s prime minister included a landmark career as a journalist, two terms as London’s mayor, leading the Vote Leave Brexit campaign and acting as foreign secretary. He won the largest Tory majority since 1987 when he went to the polls in December 2019 for a mandate to ‘Get Brexit Done’ – only to have his administration hit by the global Covid pandemic and toppled in a Tory putsch.Unleashed is his account of his time in politics, and a book that shatters the mould of the modern prime ministerial memoir. Written in his inimitable style, it is honest, unrestrained and deeply revealing about the politician who has dominated our times.This is his story of the fifteen years since he trounced Ken Livingstone at the polls to become mayor of London. Riots, tackling knife crime, bikes, buses, the London Olympics, and so much more. He writes about his role in Brexit, takes readers through all the big decisions and his reasons for taking them, and describes how he nearly died from Covid.Underlying everything in the book is his view that the UK is an extraordinary country and should have an exceptional future. These are the reflections of a political leader who believes fundamentally in levelling up – that there are millions of people in Britain who do not have the present they need or the future they deserve, and that it is the first job of politicians to put this right.It is all here. From soup to nuts, warts and all. As a journalist he was famed as a blurter of unsayable truths, and he has drawn again on this quality for the book. About people, policies, mistakes and triumphs. This is it – the reality as he saw it: unvarnished, unlocked, unleashed.

A lively, idiosyncratic, witty look at the heart of our political process by a man who has crossed over from observer to activist, to become one of our newest members of parliament.Boris Johnson, celebrated for his blonde thatch of hair as well as for his brilliant writing in the newspapers, and much liked for his appearances on television and radio, took notes throughout his period as prospective candidate and the election campaign. The result is a book that is lovely and fascinating, outspoken and funny, and yet raises real questions about the democratic process.Have you ever wondered about becoming a Member of Parliament? Or why other people do? Or considered what the prospective parliamentary candidates do as they stump around the constituency – making speeches, kissing babies, knocking on front doors, providing newspaper copy? Or what difference it makes to us?Boris Johnson has been a candidate in two elections. As a journalist, he is used to writing about politicians. Now he is himself being interviewed. So what does it feel like, with the tables turned?In his own inimitable style, Boris Johnson writes about his views on the role of MPs and what they can achieve today. He comments on life on the stump, and the pleasure (mostly) of meeting voters, on political parties, current issues, and how to persuade people to vote – all interwoven with stories of what happened to him on his way to a meeting…

Boris Johnson's first novel, Seventy-Two Virgins is a no-holds-barred political satire, a comic romp peopled with a gallery of grotesques which lampoons both the absurdities and the extremes of modern society.The American President, on a State Visit to Britain is giving a major address to a top-level audience in Westminster Hall. Ferocious security – with some difficulties in communication – is provided by a joint force of the United States Secret Service and Scotland Yard. The best sharpshooters from both countries are stationed on the roof of the Parliament buildings.Then a stolen ambulance runs into trouble with the Parking Authorities. A hapless Member of Parliament, having mislaid his crucial pass, is barred from Westminster, his bicycle regarded as a potential lethal weapon. And a man going by the name of Jones, although born in Karachi, successfully slips through the barriers, and a whole new ball game starts.Despite the united efforts of the finest security minds, events begin to spin out of control. A remarkable new worldwide reality television show dominates the airwaves. And the most unlikely heroes emerge…

Focussing on how the Romans made Europe work as a homogenous civilisation and looking at why we are failing to make the EU work in modern times, this is an authoritative and amusing study from bestselling author Boris Johnson.In addition to his roles as politician, editor, author and television presenter, Boris Johnson is a passionate Roman scholar. The recent ‘Dream of Rome’ TV series saw him travelling throughout the Roman Empire in order to uncover the secrets of the governance of the empire, and the reasons behind why the Romans held such power and prestige for so long.Fiercely interested in Europe and the current issues facing the European Union, Boris Johnson will look at the lessons we could learn from the Romans and how we could apply them to our modern politics.Boris Johnson was the editor of the Spectator, MP for Henley and is now the new Shadow Minister for Education. He writes a column for the Daily Telegraph and lives in London and Oxfordshire with his wife and their children.

London is special. For centuries, it has been amongst the greatest cities of the world. But a city is nothing without its people. This sparkling new history of London, told through a relay-race of great Londoners shows in one, personality-packed book that the ingenuity, diversity, creativity and enterprise of London are second to none.Boris Johnson believes that in order to understand London one has to know about its past. The heart and spirit of London lies in its people, in the range of its cultures. Through its diversity and energy, London provides an environment which empowers people to create, the impetus to invent. Boris Johnson’s new book explores this cross current of influences between Westminster and the City, between the politicians and the wealth creators, over many centuries .JOHNSON’S LIFE OF LONDON – a fitting tribute of course to one of the greatest Londoners –celebrates many of the characters who have made this city great. Boris’s book provides a chronological story of London but is written in the form of a relay race of biographies – some very famous figures, some more obscure. He ranges from the Romans to one of the author’s predecessors as mayor, Dick Whittington; from John Wilkes (a strong upholder of the freedom of the press) to J.W. Turner; from Chaucer to Gandhi, and through to modern times.Boris Johnson writes with wit and erudition, providing the reader with delightful insights. The book discovers London as none of us have seen it before and the journey is exhilarating and surprising .

First published as Johnson’s Life of London, now released with new material following Jubilee and Olympic celebrations in 2012. This updated history of London shows that the ingenuity, diversity, creativity and enterprise of the city are second to none.London’s buildings may be famous, London’s history may be lengthy and illustrious, but it is London’s people who have given, and continue to give, the city its exuberant and exhilarating profile.London of the Olympic and Jubilee summer displayed Londoners on a world stage, but this is a city which has always lived on the energy and skills of its people, drawn to the capital from all over the country and the world.Boris Johnson shares with us his pleasure at London’s vitality and unique character, and selects the people who in his view have contributed so much to the spirit of London – some very famous figures, some more obscure. He includes everyone from the Romans to one of the author’s predecessors as mayor, Dick Whittington; from John Wilkes (a strong upholder of the freedom of the press) to J.W. Turner; from Chaucer to Gandhi, and through to modern times.Due to the limitations of some ereaders, it is not possible to show some special characters.

Ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson takes on Winston Churchill in this biography like no other.''A stunning tour de force'' - Sunday Telegraph''Genuinely clever . . . this book sizzles.'' - The Times
For many, Winston Churchill is one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. He truly was a man who made history.
In this book, Boris Johnson explores the man behind the name, and what makes up his unique ''Churchill Factor''. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays - with characteristic wit and passion - a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing and deep humanity.
Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day; he embraced large-scale strategic bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was famous for his ability to combine wining and dining with many late nights of crucial wartime decision-making. His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in healthcare, education and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect.
Published in association with Churchill Heritage, The Churchill Factor is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader in a time of crisis.

Zwischen Politik und Komödie müsse er sich entscheiden, warnte ihn einst sein Kollege Michael Portillo, doch Boris Johnson denkt nicht daran. Er bringt beides unter einen Hut - sowohl in persona als auch in seinem ersten Roman 72 Jungfrauen, einer packenden "Post-9/11- Farce", die unseren Umgang mit dem Terrorismus aufs Korn nimmt. Das Buch spielt in einem Zeitfenster von nur dreieinhalb Stunden: Ein Unterhausabgeordneter radelt, wie der Autor es selbst gerne tut, zur Arbeit, wo der amerikanische Präsident in Westminster Hall eine große Ansprache haltensoll. Secret Service und Scotland Yard sorgen mit ihren besten Leuten für Sicherheit, Scharfschützen sind auf dem Dach des Parlamentsgebäudes stationiert. Zur gleichen Zeit gerät eine wilde Gruppe von Pakistanis in einem gestohlenen Krankenwagen in Konflikt mit einem Parkwächter. Während das Fahrrad des Abgeordneten als potentielles Bombendepot eingestuft wird, gelingt es den Terroristen mit dem Parkwächter im Kofferraum des Krankenwagens ohne viel Mühe durch die Sicherheitsschleusen zu schlüpfen. Als die Situation eskaliert, wird daraus ein TV- Spektakel, an dem die ganze Welt teilnimmt.

Boris Johnson explorează, în paginile acestui volum, din ce anume este constituit „factorul Churchill“ – acea inteligență unică a unuia dintre cei mai importanți lideri ai secolului XX. Demontând miturile și prejudecățile care au dăinuit alături de realitate, Johnson realizează – cu inteligența și pasiunea caracteristice – portretul unui om al contradicțiilor, al curajului contagios, înzestrat cu o elocință uimitoare și cu o putere inegalabilă de a croi strategii. Curajos pe câmpul de luptă, Churchill a trebuit să primească ordin de la rege pentru a sta departe de focul bătăliei în Ziua Z; a fost de acord cu bombardamentele strategice la scară extinsă, cu toate că ura distrugerile produse de război și îi disprețuia pe politicienii care nu îi trăiseră ororile. A fost un jurnalist apreciat, un mare orator și a câștigat Premiul Nobel pentru Literatură. A fost faimos pentru capacitatea de a combina serile de dineuri oficiale cu nopțile în care lua decizii cruciale pentru soarta războiului. Viziunea sa progresistă asupra lumii l-a făcut un pionier în dezvoltarea sistemului public de sănătate, de educație și de asistență socială, deși a rămas un adept incorigibil al incorectitudinii politice. Factorul Churchill nu este o carte doar pe gustul pasionaților de istorie. Este o lectură esențială pentru toți cei care doresc să afle din ce material anume e făcut un mare lider.

Estadista, militar, escritor, pintor, reportero de guerra..., al controvertido primer ministro británico Winston Churchill se le recuerda como uno de los políticos más relevantes del siglo XX. Con motivo del cincuentenario de su muerte, el popular alcalde de Londres, Boris Johnson, hace un repaso a su vida preguntándose en qué consiste el llamado "factor Churchill", qué explica su particular esplendor para, a partir del mismo, hacer una reflexión sobre el liderazgo político y social en nuestros días. Churchill fue un político tan admirado como cuestionado. Amante de la buena mesa, la bebida y el tabaco, fue un político de amplias miras y un orador sin igual, uno de los pioneros en Gran Bretaña en defender la sanidad pública, la educación y el bienestar social, sin por ello renunciar a su incorregible incorrección política. Nunca mostró miedo ni como militar, ni como periodista en Sudán y Sudáfrica, ni como ministro paseando por los campos de batalla de la Primera Guerra Mundial o enfrentándose a Hitler... Quiso incluso personarse en el desembarco en Normandía, pero se lo impidió el rey. Hombre de armas, pero también de letras, es el único premier británico galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Johnson pasa revista tanto a sus éxitos, a veces sobredimensionados y mitificados, como a sus errores, para describirnos, con su característico ingenio y apasionamiento, a un hombre, lleno de contradicciones, de una profunda humanidad, de una valentía contagiosa y de una impresionante elocuencia, pero también dotado como nadie de un talento incomparable para la estrategia. "El factor Churchill" no es solo un libro para los interesados en la Historia, es también una reflexión sobre el liderazgo y la importancia del ser humano para acometer empresas importantes; una lectura fundamental para todo el que quiera saber de qué están hechos los grandes líderes.
