A signed to bookplate edition - with a couple of minor imperfections - of this political memoir from Liz Truss (b. 1975), who in 2022 was elected as the UK's 56th Prime Minister (the 3rd female to do so, after fellow Conservatives Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May), after serving in a number of Cabinet positions. She was forced to resign after only 49 days, by some distance the shortest tenure in the post on record.

'Ten Years To Save The West : Lessons From The Only Conservative In The Room ' published by Biteback Publishing, London on 16 April 2024, 1st edition/2nd printing, standard modern hardback, [viii] + 311 pages. Various colour photographs within.

Signed by Liz Truss to an official publisher bookplate affixed to the title page.

Internally in As New unread condition.

Externally in near fine+ condition, some light storage wear around the gutter ends, and the inner panels of the dustjacket have a couple of marks towards the bottom edge (perhaps a squished small bug).

‘I want to provide a call to action for fellow conservatives who believe in our nation and our way of life and who share my frustration at what has been going wrong with our politics and governance. I want others to heed the warnings of what I saw happening and learn the lessons of the battle I lost.’

Over the course of a decade as a minister, Liz Truss sought to champion limited government and individual freedom in the face of the left-wing political agenda that frames the debate in so many institutions. Ousted by the establishment but still fighting for conservatism, Truss argues here that the rise of authoritarianism and the adoption of fashionable ideas propagated by the global left give us barely a decade to preserve the economic and cultural freedoms and institutions that the West holds so dear.

Peppered with newsworthy anecdotes from Truss’s time in public life – such as her memorable last meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, her confrontations with the regimes in Moscow and Beijing, her encounters with the Trump administration and her dismay at the political class’s attempt to betray Brexit – Ten Years to Save the West is an urgent and impassioned call to conservatives about the radical changes that are needed for us to save the West. Ignore her warning at your peril.

'I think it’s something that should be read by everyone who wants to understand the events of the last ten years. It’s well written, a gripping read at times and thought-provoking. I read it in two sittings and found it unputdownable.' -- Iain Dale, LBC

'Whatever you may think of Liz Truss, if you like political ideas and argument, this is a provocative and enjoyable read.' - Chris Mason, BBC
