This autobiography is one of the best I've read. Given it was finished only shortly before his death it is also arguably one of the most complete you will ever read. Nigels writing style is really easy to read and positive. Knowing him only from Yes Minister I expected a lot of the book to be about that part of his life however that barely takes a chapter, which in the end is a great thing. It shows yes minister was a relatively small part of his life and came late, what it does cover is the struggles of a gay man throughout the 20th century. A truly inspiring story and well worth a read
