          Alan Clark: The Biography

          January 22, 2023
          Alan Clark was a British MP and Tory minister, remembered mostly for his 'Diaries' that is, three volumes about the Thatcher government (that he served).

          Ion Trewin, the author, is a journalist and editor, who had then collaborated to these diaries and is here writing Clark's biography -fifteen years later.

          The book has roughly three angles, exposing Clark as, first, a military historian; then, his political career; and, finally, his private life.

          Ion Trewin's biography of Alan Clark, Tory pterodactyl extraordinaire, is authorised, and thus rather more discreet than perhaps it should be.



          Chapters dedicated to his career as an historian, he who was a specialist of both WWI and WWII, are truly engrossing. Here we discover indeed an intellectual whose ideas, unconventional and challenging, at times, even, radical, are still discussed nowadays.

          It's fascinating, but let's be honest, it's not the main reason why one would want to read this! What about his political career?

          Well, sadly, here might be the main topic of interest, yet here's also the weakest point of it all.

          Sure, Ala
