Genre: Fiction

Format: Paperback

Price: $13

The unmissable inside story of the most dramatic general election campaign in modern history and Theresa May’s battle for a Brexit deal—the greatest challenge for a prime minister since the Second World War. By the bestselling author of All Out War, shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2017.

Fall Out tells of how a leader famed for her caution battled her bitterly divided cabinet at home while facing duplicitous Brussels bureaucrats abroad. It recounts how she took the biggest gamble of her career to strengthen her position—and promptly blew it. This is a tale of treachery where, in her hour of greatest weakness, May’s colleagues began to plot against her.

Inside this book, you will find all the strategy, comedy, tragedy, and farce of modern politics—where principle, passion, and vaulting ambition collide in the corridors of power. It chronicles a civil war at the heart of the Conservative Party and a Labour Party back from the dead, led by Jeremy Corbyn, who defied the experts and critics to mount an unlikely tilt at the top job.

With access to all the key players, Tim Shipman has written a political history that reads like a thriller, exploring how and why the EU referendum result pitched Britain into a year of political mayhem.
