Nick Clegg: The Biography Reviews
-
A great book for any politicos or Liberal Democrats out there, this book gives a fantastic insight into the life of the former Leader. It's fairly easy to read, written in a relatively chatty tone, so if this is your cup of tea, it shouldn't take much effort to get through.

Written in 2011 in the aftermath of the loss of the AV referendum and the disastrous local election results of that year, this is an interesting book at this distance given that most of the possible futures it outlines have turned out at the bad news end of the scale. It would be interesting to read the author's thoughts from today's perspective.
The author is good when analysing some of the reasons why things worked as they did during Clegg's career but the book is weaker for him often not taking the extra step to draw and share his own conclusions.
The book was succesful in providing me with a better knowledge of Clegg's background which does make him relatively unique in British politics. Of course, Clegg has been somewhat rehabilitated in the light of Brexit so there may be scope for an updated edition of this sonewhere along the line.
