Enough Is Enough: or The Emergency Government

Enough Is Enough: or The Emergency Government

by Mark Lawson (Author)

Synopsis

A dynamic young Labour Prime Minister has been elected to end years of Tory rule. But now, the public thinks he's a slippery liar, and the newspapers want him out. Convinced the Chancellor of the Exchequer is plotting his removal, he can no longer trust what the intelligence services are telling him. And the American President's involvement in an unpopular war threatens both their governments. "Enough is Enough" revolves around events in May 1968. Harold Wilson knows the party that once loved him is now plotting to remove him. Still, he has failed to spot at least two other conspiracies brewing. Bernard Storey, a journalist, stumbles on the rival plots and enters a world of lying and spying, back-stabbing and blackmail, malicious gossip and false intelligence. Based on actual events, "Enough is Enough" is a satirical and unnerving spy thriller which shows how stupid intelligence can be and how, in politics, what we see is rarely what we're getting.
