Out

Praise for Fall Out 'The doyen of ... high-class gossip is ... Shipman, whose All Out War was last year's bestselling guide to the referendum campaign. Its sequel takes up where that left off ... Shipman's books are fast becoming classics ... It's testament to the rigour of [his] research that the book doesn't feel dated despite the speed at which events at Westminster have moved since it went to press' Gaby Hinsliff, Guardian `This extraordinary book ... reads like a roaring farce ... jam-packed with fresh, illuminating details ... Shipman's writing has admirable clarity and drive ... For anyone who wants to relive the past year... this book is a must' Craig Brown, Mail On Sunday `All Out War was the best political book published ... last year ... its triumphant sequel ... is even better' Alex Massie, Spectator `Gripping ... If journalism is the first rough draft of history, then Shipman is the master of the second, tidied up, version of events ... A mixture of political thriller, psychological analysis and campaign diary, this is a page-turner for anyone interested in politics' Rachel Sylvester, The Times `Readers who enjoyed the lucid prose and unrivalled access that made the first book such a treat will love its sequel' New Statesman `Shipman ... a major-domo with a notebook in his waistcoat pocket ... bends over backwards to be fair ... It is crammed with detailed description and the transcribed thoughts of those who were there when the key decisions were taken' Andrew Marr, Sunday Times `Excellent ... engrossing ... a witty phrase-maker ... Shipman does a fine job of making sense of the period since the Brexit referendum ... illuminating' Andrew Rawnsley, Observer
