1.  Whatever Happened to the Tories: The Conservative Party Since 1945: History of the Conservative Party Since 1945 (Fourth Estate paperbacks) by Ian Gilmour
The list author says:
  "Lord Gilmour, sacked from Thatcher's cabinet and vilified in the Clark diaries, takes the pith out of Thatcherism as much as objectively retelling post-war Toryism. FAB!"

Goodbye to All That (Essential Penguin)
2.  Goodbye to All That (Essential Penguin) by Robert Graves
The list author says:
  "Honest. The only book to make me cry! The appendix is a must -it reveals that Graves' later life was fairly uneventful despite his works and the description of the death of his son in the later War."

Losing My Virginity: The Autobiography
4.  Losing My Virginity: The Autobiography by Sir Richard Branson

The Poetical Works (Wordsworth Poetry Library)
5.  The Poetical Works (Wordsworth Poetry Library) by Rupert Brooke

Blue Remembered Years: A Political Memoir
6.  Blue Remembered Years: A Political Memoir by Ian Lang
The list author says:
  "The logest serving Scottish Office Minister in its history, coordinator of leadership campaigns and original member of the "Monty Python" set, Lord Lang elucidates Scottish issues eloquently. AMAZING."
£17.06   Used & New from: £0.01

Diaries: In Power
7.  Diaries: In Power by Alan Clark
The list author says:

Curzon
8.  Curzon by David Gilmour
The list author says:

Friends in High Places: Who Runs Britain? [ Peguin Paperback ]
9.  Friends in High Places: Who Runs Britain? [ Peguin Paperback ] by Jeremy Paxman
The list author says:
  "Bizzarely more worthwhile for its continuing repetition of the same message. Paxo less sloppy than recently but still some gems of anecdote."
Used & New from: £0.01

10.  Lord Hailsham: A Life (Pimlico) by Geoffrey M Lewis

  ""To deal with Lord Hailsham you don't have to be good at dealing with the elderley but at dealing with children." Admirable yet redolent of the ilk responsible for the decline of Britain."
£12.75   Used & New from: £0.01
