What They're Saying
Critics Review
Sharp-witted, full of surprises and with a great sense of history, Nick Robinson pulls back the curtain on an essential part of the democratic story. For everyone who wants to know more about the long, and sometimes hilarious, mud-wrestle between power and the media - and about the man behind the glasses - this is a must. * Andrew Marr *
Canny, plain-speaking and fair, Nick Robinson writes as the penetrating insider he is. * Matthew Parris *
Nick Robinson skips lightly through the great battles between Downing Street and the broadcast media… a fun, well-paced account * Sunday Times *
[Robinson] comes across much as he does on television or radio: never at a loss and able to deliver not just the news, but a definitive judgment on it * Financial Times *
