Summary
Liz Truss's disastrous premiership was the shortest and most chaotic in British history. In the space of just 49 days, Truss witnessed the death of the longest-reigning monarch, attempted to remould the economy, triggered a collapse in the value of Sterling and was forced on a series of embarrassing U-turns that ultimately led to her resignation. The aftershocks of her time in office are still felt today. How did she blow her opportunity so spectacularly?
Based on exclusive interviews with key aides, allies and insiders, and focusing on the critical steps that led to her demise, this gripping behind-the-scenes work of contemporary history gives the definitive account of Truss's premiership.

Hilarious and Terrifying
Alan Partridge audio books are my favourite comedy books, this one however also made me laugh out loud whilst at the same time sending shivers down my spine. Partridge doesn’t exist. Truss does and I suspect she thinks she’ll make a return to public life. All British people should read this so we can experience things with our eyes open.

probably the most mental time in British politics
brilliant documentation of an incredible time in British history. My son was born on Muni Budget day so my memories were blurry but this more than filled them in! a must read.

Compelling and well researched
Anthony Seldon and collaborator again comes with the definitive portrait of a Prime Minister. Liz Truss comes across as intelligent and not without likeable qualities but seems hopelessly out of her depth at the pinnacle of power. Based on exhaustive 120 interviews and released official documents, the book should be regarded as definitive.

Deep state or deep incompetence?
Spoiler alert: it’s the second one. Seldon assesses the short lived premiership of Truss using a framework of 10 tests that define successful PMs. She fails every one.

Frightening
As ever, authoritatively presented and engagingly written. a truly cautionary tale about what goes wrong when the superficial get their hands on the levers of power. Tory patty managers should be prompted to look long and hard at how they choose their leaders.

Excellent
A great insight into the car crash period of the Liz Truss government. Hard to believe what went in behind the scenes. Well narrated on audible version.

Pretty ordinary
Really just a reminder of how awful Truss was as a Prime Minister but should have realised that from her previous roles. What I found difficult about this book is the judgment of her very short time in office against Anthony Seldon’s 10 core area’s to judge her performance. Most of the 10 are only really applicable to the Conservative party so although Truss would possibly fall short against all her modern predecessors I didn’t get the impression that the book addressed this to enough
