Jeffrey Archer: Stranger than Fiction - Softcover
This is a biography of Jeffrey Archer - a man of overwhelming ambition. After Oxford - where he never got a degree - he set up a hugely successful fund raising operation. MP at 29, bankrupt at 34, he had to resign his seat. Then he began his career as a novelist, with Thatcher the political comeback and Deputy Chairmanship of the Conservative Party. Then brought low again, this time by Monica Coghlan in 1986.

The book William Hague ignored but now wishes he had not. Jeffrey Archer's life is a carnival of risk, bluff and naked ambition, all twisted by – in the words of his wife Mary – Archer's 'gift for inaccurate precis'. This brilliant biography lays bare the facts behind Archer's rise, fall, rise and fall again. It has been completely revised since revelations of Archer's procurement of a false alibi to support his libel action against the Daily Star and News of the World brought a swift end to his mayoral ambitions.
Michael Crick is a biographer, writer and journalist. He has worked for Newsnight, a range of national newspapers and his biographies of Michael Heseltine and Jeffrey Archer have been widely and very favourably reviewed. In the words of Adam Raphael, 'once he [Crick] has got his teeth into something he's determined to find out the truth'.
