22 Days in May: The Birth of the Lib Dem-Conservative Coalition 2nd Impression Edition

David Laws has copious notes of interminable meetings to rely on, which means his account has the ring of authenticity.

It also catches the milling chaos of the time, the imperative that a deal be done in yes! the national interest, because the cabinet secretary and governor of the Bank of England were dancing jigs of anxiety just off stage. --Peter Preston, The Guardian
