About the Author

Brendan Bruce (one of Margaret Thatcher's spin doctors) has worked in mass communications for over thirty years; first in global advertising agencies (for clients such as Mars, Procter & Gamble and the British Government); then on the client side as Director of Communications of the UK Conservative Party; and latterly as a private political consultant to African Heads of State and Government. He has worked as a journalist, media coach,TV pundit and political speechwriter. 'On the Origin of Spin' is his second work on political marketing; his first, 'Images of Power', is still considered a classic. He also writes historical thrillers under the 'Dominic Lagan' brand.
