About this product

Product Information

Winner of the Parliamentary Book Award, best memoir by a Parliamentarian, 2016 From the condemned slums of Southam Street in West London to the corridors of power in Westminster, Alan Johnson's multi-award-winning autobiography charts an extraordinary journey, almost unimaginable in today's Britain. This third volume tells of Alan's early political skirmishes as a trades union leader, where his negotiating skills and charismatic style soon came to the notice of Tony Blair and other senior members of the Labour Party. As a result, Alan was chosen to stand in the constituency of Hull West and Hessle, and entered Parliament as an MP after the landslide election victory for Labour in May 1997. But this is no self-aggrandizing memoir of Westminster politicking and skulduggery. Supporting the struggle of his constituents, the Hull trawlermen and their families, for justice comes more naturally to Alan than do the byzantine complexities of Parliamentary procedure. But of course he does succeed there, and rises through various ministerial positions to the office of Home Secretary in 2009. In The Long and Winding Road, Alan's characteristic honesty and authenticity shine through every word. His book takes you into a world which is at once familiar and strange- this is politics as you've never seen it before...

  • Part three of an "Autodidacts" story,

    This appears to be the final part of Alan Johnson autobiographical trilogy - so it's best to have read "This Boy" and "please Mr Postman" before reading this. It's a compelling story because it tells the story of someone who had a difficult start in life but was an "autodidact" (his words) and pulled himself up by by his bootlaces to be a cabinet minister. I would have liked more detail about his more personal relations though.
