Aprašymas

Ross Harper's work, viewpoints, and high profile have, inevitably, exposed him to difficult situations and brought him no shortage of rivals and enemies. He was even embroiled in a sex scandal by the Sun newspaper, whose allegations turned out to be false but were published during a visit to Scotland by Margaret Thatcher when Harper was President of the Scottish Conservatives, causing his resignation amidst an embarrassing media frenzy. His work has also introduced him to a variety of people in positions of great fame and power on all sides of the political and social spectrum, including Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Nelson Mandela, John Smith, Michael Portillo, and Jimmy Savile. Now, after a life in the spotlight, Ross Harper offers deeply personal views on the law, business, and journalism, examining the roots of his career and the lifelong values of his upbringing in Glasgow during World War II. He shares the secrets of his success and shows how he has balanced an astonishingly busy professional life with a lifelong passion for fishing and his position as a devoted family man. This is the story of one of the major figures in Scottish life of the past 50 years, told with the warmth, humor, and candor that those who know him would expect.
