Summary, etc. The autobiography of former Defence Secretary Sir John Nott. Nott entered Parliament in 1966 after a career in the City. He became one of Margaret Thatcher's chief lieutenants and was appointed Trade Secretary in her first Cabinet. In 1981 he moved across to Defence where he implemented a wide ranging Defence Review. He was Defence Secretary in the Falklands War Cabinet but left Parliament at the 1983 election. He went on to become chairman of Lazard Brothers and Hillsdown Holdings. He now farms in Cornwall. <br/>The sudden departure of the Secretary of State for Defence from a live interview with Robin Day in 1982 not only provided one of the great moments of television. It also confirmed what many had long known: that John Nott was no ordinary politician.<br/><br/>Nor is this an ordinary political memoir. As Defence Secretary during the Falklands War, Nott tells for the first time the inside story of the War Cabinet at that tense and dramatic period, relating in vivid detail the personal and political crises faced by Margaret Thatcher and her closest ministers as they waged a war fought thousands of miles away. He also gives a candid account of the rift between 'Wets' and 'Drys' in the first Thatcher administration and of the tensions between politicians and the military Chiefs of Staff at the height of the Cold War.<br/><br/>But there is much more to Sir John Nott than a politician at the centre of world events. His memoirs begin in Afghanistan, where his ancestor Sir William Nott fought in the First Afghan War; describe his army service with the Gurkhas in Malaya; relate his career in the City, where he worked for Warburg's in the early 1960s and where he returned as chairman of Lazard's after stepping down as an MP in 1983; and air his forthright views, based on his own experience, of the current state of the farming and food industries in Britain.<br/><br/>Amusing, revealing and engagingly self-critical, Here Today, Gone Tomorrow tells the full life story of 'an errant politician'.
