BRITISH BOOK AWARDS NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024

A searing insider's account of ten extraordinary years in Parliament, by the former Cabinet minister and co-presenter of hit podcast The Rest Is Politics

The most exceptional political memoir I've ever read

ALAN JOHNSON

An instant classic

MARINA HYDE

At last, a politician who can write

SEBASTIAN FAULKS

Over the course of a decade from 2010, Rory Stewart went from being a political outsider to standing for prime minister - before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise.

Tackling ministerial briefs on flood response and prison violence, engaging with conflict and poverty abroad as a foreign minister, and Brexit as a Cabinet minister, Stewart learned first-hand how profoundly hollow our democracy and government had become.

Cronyism, ignorance, and sheer incompetence ran rampant. Around him, individual politicians laid the foundations for the political and economic chaos of today.

Stewart emerged battered but with a profound affection for his constituency of Penrith and the Border, and a deep direct insight into the era of populism and global conflict.

Uncompromising, candid, and darkly humorous, Politics on the Edge is his story of the challenges, absurdities, and realities of political life, and a remarkable portrait of our age.
