UK Prime Minister David Cameron. How did he reach the top, first in the party and then as the leader of the UK’s first coalition government since the Second World War?
How did he deal with everything from political triumph to personal tragedy?
He is very powerful in the Central American country, thanks to his ownership of the nation’s biggest financial institution, Belize Bank, and many other businesses.

Co-authored by Lord Ashcroft, the former deputy chairman of the Tory Party and respected pollster, and Isabel Oakeshott, the award-winning political journalist, this is unquestionably the most hotly anticipated political book of the year.
