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'.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The book William Hague refused to read but now wishes he had. Michael Crick's widely praised biography of the extraordinarily invented life of Jeffrey Archer, fabulist, politician, fundraiser, and fibber on a grand scale. In the words of his wife, the fragrant Mary, Jeffrey Archer has ' a genius for inaccurate precis', which from one who knows him best is a pretty concise and damning summary. Here, Michael Crick tells the life story of a great adventurer and fantasist. Jeffrey Archer's version of his past is scrupulously examined and every inaccuracy corrected. From his Oxford Blue to his brief days as a policeman, from his share dealings in Anglia Television to his extraordinary association with Monica Coghlan, a prostitute who, according to Archer, he paid not to have sex with him. As Archer's political career implodes with yet another falsehood plastered across the press, Michael Crick's classic biography of a political life at the end of the century is more than ever required reading. This is Archer, warts - well, smooth shoulders, spots or hairy back according to your sources - and all. Here lies Jeffrey Archer. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003456865
