5 out of 5 stars Definitive analysis of the London elections 2008   July 11, 2008
J. Asato (London, UK)
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

The perfect pairing of Giles Edwards and Jonathan Isaby has made this book the definitive analysis of the race between Boris and Ken. It's pacy, astute and informative. Labour strategists who want to understand where their campaign went wrong should have this down as holiday reading.


5 out of 5 stars Blond Torygraph Boy versus Red Ken   June 30, 2008
Gabrielle G (London, UK)
2 out of 5 found this review helpful

Excellent read tells the story of how Boris applied himself to defeat the man who survived Thatcher , Kinnock , Blair and Brown ! Isaby is a remarkable journo who even in his twenties was consulted by Tory MP's on who would be elected Tory leader in 2001 and 2005.


5 out of 5 stars superb insiders guide to the great upset of 2008   June 4, 2008

A top quality read by 2 insiders in British politics. Giles and Jonathan really seem to know their way around the london political scene. This book tells the full story of boris, his tactics, his persona and his victory. It is insightful, witty and the not to miss political book of 2008!


4 out of 5 stars Excellent narrative history of Boris beating the incumbent   September 10, 2008
Headhunter (London, United Kingdom)
This book is a very quick read and doesn't break much new ground for anyone who took more than a passing interest in the 2008 London Mayoral Election. It is, however, the first book to bring the whole story into one volume and in that sense is pretty exhaustive yet entertainingly written (Isaby's gossip column skills help on this front). Perhaps another book will be written with more analysis of events or in depth accounts of one or other campaign, but for now this is a pretty definitve history lf the election.
