After a decade as Conservative Party leader, David Cameron remains an enigma to those outside his tight-knit inner circle. This authoritative biography of Britain's youngest Prime Minister for nearly 200 years provides a fascinating insight into the man only those closest to him know. Based on hundreds of interviews, with everyone from Westminster insiders to intimate friends, this book reveals the real David Cameron.
From Eton to Oxford, through gap-year adventures in Russia to his early days as a party apparatchik and his stint as a PR man, the book scrutinises Cameron's journey to the premiership and his record as the most powerful man in the land.
"The most explosive political book of the decade." - Daily Mail; "Call Me Dave is a lively, well-researched read, and will be required reading for anyone who wants to know more about our politics or prime minister." - The Telegraph; "Undeniably readable" - The Guardian
