By Jonathan Aitken
(Continuum International Publishing Group, 2006)

In this sequel to his first volume of autobiography, Pride and Perjury, Aitken starts his story as he is taken down from the courtroom and incarcerated at Her Majesty’s Pleasure.

How this Old Etonian former Cabinet Minister on Mrs Thatcher’s inner circle managed to establish new relationships and lasting friendships with fellow prisoners is fascinating—so too is this account of how religious belief transformed his life. Aitken has lost none of his charm, fluency, and determination—and he has found an authentic new life which readers of this entertaining new book will be able to judge for themselves.

About the author

Category: Books by Staff

History is the scene of the working out of God’s justice, which we can never escape, but it is also the scene of the revelation of the everlasting mercy. Lincoln knew that, if we stress only the mercy, we become sentimentalists, while, if we stress only the justice, we are driven to despair. The secret of rationality is the maintenance of the tension. The greatest possible mistake is the fatuous supposition that we have resolved it.
