It is also one of the most perceptive accounts of Britain in the 1970s.'- Misha Glenny'A crisp, unself-pitying memoir of a 'trainwreck' youth ... I've always likes Webb on the radio.\r\n\r\n But I like him much more after reading this book. He offers precisely the kind of brisk honesty and considered analysis he expects from his interviewees. Our politicians should all read it, and step up their game.' -Telegraph.............................................................................\r\n\r\n   ............................................................................   Justin Webb's childhood in the 1970s was far from ordinary.   Between his mother's un-diagnosed psychological problems, and his step-father's untreated ones, life at home was dysfunctional at best.\r\n\r\n But with gun-wielding school masters and sub-standard living conditions, Quaker boarding school wasn't much better.   Candid, unsparing and darkly funny, Justin Webb's memoir is as much a portrait of a troubled era as it is the story of a dysfunctional childhood, shaping the urbane and successful radio presenter we know and love now.   .............................................................................\r\n\r\n   ...........................................................   'I thoroughly enjoyed Justin Webb's bonkers childhood. He captures the middle class of the age with a tenacity only possible in one of its victims.' -Jeremy Paxman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
