Synopsis
This biography delves into the life of Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, a compelling and often contradictory figure in modern British politics. From a close colleague's perspective, the book charts his remarkable rise, exploring how a shy boy became a box-office politician and a 'Man of the People.' It examines his unique blend of comedy and erudition, his personal life, and the strategies behind his political success, including his mayoral victory in London and the building of the Johnson family's media and political dynasty.
