Liz Truss's catastrophic premiership was the shortest and most shambolic in British history. In the space of just 49 days, she witnessed the death of the longest-reigning monarch, attempted to remould the economy, triggered a collapse in the value of sterling and faced a series of embarrassing U-turns that ultimately led to her resignation.

Based on exclusive interviews with key aides, allies and insiders, and extensive documents, this gripping behind-the-scenes work of contemporary history by the Sunday Times bestselling author Anthony
Seldon provides the definitive account of Truss's time in office and reveals the critical steps that led to her demise.
