From the author of the ever-popular Flashman novels, a collection of film-world reminiscences & trenchant thoughts on Cool Britannia, New Labour & other abominations. In between writing Flashman novels, George Mac Donald Fraser spent thirty years as an "incurably star struck" screenwriter, working with the likes of Steve Mc Queen, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cubby Broccoli, Burt Lancaster, Federico Fellini & Oliver Reed. Now he shares his recollections of those encounters, providing a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes. Far from starry-eyed where Tony Blair & Co are concerned, he looks back also to the Britain of his youth & castigates those responsible for its decline to "a Third World country.. .misruled by a typical Third World government, corrupt, incompetent & undemocratic".
