Description

One of Britain's legendary commentators on a unique period of British history, Supping with the Devil includes interviews with Margaret Thatcher, analyses of John Major's premiership, agenda-setting columns on the Salman Rushdie Fatwa, the Balkan War and the murder of Stephen Lawrence.

But this is more than a book about party politics. It ranges brilliantly and insightfully over the nature and future of the British state; Britain's place in the world (especially its relationship with the United States and Europe); freedom of information and the crisis of religious belief; the future of fox-hunting and the power of art. Urgent, penetrating and always original, these articles, taken together, confirm Young's reputation as one of the most morally engaged commentators ever published.
