Inhaltsangabe:

The sudden departure of the Secretary of State for Defence from a live interview with Robin Day in 1982 not only provided one of the great moments of television. It also confirmed what many had long known: that John Nott was no ordinary politician.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: John Nott was born in 1932. He started his career as a regular office in the 2nd Gurkha rifles, resigned his commission in 1956 and went up to Cambridge where he was President of the Union. He then joined Warburgs at the beginning of the City revolution leaving it to enter politics in 1966 when he became Conservative MP for St Ives. He became Sectretary of State for Trade and then Secretary of State for Defence in Margaret Thatcher's first Cabinet. He served in the Falklands War Cabinet. He left politics in 1983, reentered the City and became Chairman and Chief Executive of Lazard Brothers during 'Big Bang' - the completion of the City revolution. He now farms in Cornwall.
