Celebrated diarist, famous womaniser, controversial Conservative MP, castle-owning toff, lecherous cad... Alan Clark has been called all of these things by many people, all of whom would agree that he was a highly colourful and fascinating figure. Alan was politically incorrect before the term was even invented and is best remembered ten years after his death for his sensational Diaries. And yet, what of the man? Ion Trewin has had unrestricted access to extensive family papers and unpublished diaries; he has talked to politicians of all persuasions, to friends at Eton and Oxford and to some of the many women he found impossible to resist despite his loving marriage of 41 years. Packed with anecdote and incident, ALAN CLARK: THE BIOGRAPHY is a revealing and absorbing account.
