Why is this lying bastard lying to me? With this question in mind, Britains most incisive interviewer has skewered politicians from John Major to Theresa May on national television. Now, in this long-awaited memoir, he reflects on a career that has taken him to many of the worlds trouble spots, from Beirut to Belfast. Funny and poignant, it is packed with revealing anecdotes about the great, the good and the rotters he has met.

About the Author:
Jeremy Paxman was born in Yorkshire. He grew up thinking of himself as 'English' despite being one quarter Scottish. Best known for his work presenting Newsnight and University Challenge, his acclaimed books include `Friends in High Places', `The English', `The Victorians', `Empire' and `Great Britain's Great War'.
Review:
`[Paxman] records his childhood and the highs and lows of his subsequent career with a sharp eye, an acerbic wit and a lingering trace of melancholy.' Daily Mail `Funny, sad and revealing' David Aaronovitch, The Times `Entertaining', Books of the Year, Observer `[A] trenchant memoir' Daily Mail `Eye-opening ... [an] entertaining and anecdote-rich book' Daily Express `Revealing memoir' Observer `Gripping' Literary Review Praise for Jeremy Paxman: `Intelligent, well-written, informative and funny ... A book to chew on, dip into, quote from and exploit in arguments' Andrew Marr, Observer `He writes with wit and penetration, and every page of Empire can be read with relaxed pleasure' Spectator `Paxman is witty, incisive, acerbic and opinionated . . . In short, he carries the whole thing off with panache bordering on effrontery' Sunday Times `A very engaging account ... with a good sprinkling of jokes, funny nicknames and sexual references. Paxman makes some very sharp points and writes well' Guardian `Bursting with good things' Daily Telegraph
