    Description of Blue Remembered Years

    Few Conservative politicians are better qualified to tell the inside story of the party's highs and lows during the 1990s than Ian Lang. He entered Parliament in the 1979 election which swept Margaret Thatcher to power, and eleven and a half years later was to witness at close quarters the process of her removal. Appointed to John Major's first Cabinet as Secretary of State for Scotland, he became President of the Board of Trade in 1995 after acting as Major's campaign manager during the leadership election. This is a witty and engaging book, written by a politician who had an unusual background in comedy - Ian Lang was a leading member of the Cambridge Footlights with John Cleese in the 1960s and also wrote for David Frost and That was the Week that Was.
    This is the first set of memoirs from a former Secretary of State for Scotland for 50 years.
